Here’s what to expect from Sensex, Nifty 50, and Bank Nifty today:
Sensex Prediction
Sensex formed a bearish candle on daily charts, indicating further weakness. However, the short-term market sentiment remains positive.
“We believe that intraday market formation is range-bound, and this range-bound activity is likely to continue in the near future. For day traders, 85,500 and 85,000 remain key support zones for Sensex, while 86,000 - 86,200 would act as crucial resistance areas for the bulls. However, below 85,000, the uptrend could become vulnerable,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
Mayank Jain, Market Analyst, Share.Market said that the 86,000 – 86,200 region acts as the next major resistance for Sensex, and a breakout above this zone may open the door to fresh record highs. Major support is seen near 85,100 – 85,000.
Nifty OI Data
Derivatives data showed noticeable call writing at the 26,250 strike and strong put interest at 26,150, reflecting a tight near-term range. A sustained close above 26,300 will be essential to reignite bullish momentum in the sessions ahead, said Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking.
Nifty 50 Prediction
Nifty 50 index formed a bearish candle on the daily chart, suggesting a pause in the ongoing trend.
“Immediate support lies at 26,120, followed by 26,000, while a decisive break above 26,300 could pave the way for further gains toward 26,450. Chasing the Nifty 50 index at elevated levels is not advisable, as the current risk-reward setup is unfavourable. It would be more prudent to wait for a meaningful pullback before considering fresh positions,” said Nilesh Jain, Head – Technical and Derivatives Research Analyst (Equity Research), Centrum Broking.
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money said that the trend for Nifty 50 remains structurally positive as long as 26,000 – 26,050 holds on a closing basis.
“A decisive breakout above 26,300 is still required to unlock the next leg of upside toward 26,450 – 26,600. The RSI at 62 reflects neutral momentum, clearly indicating that the market is not yet in an overbought zone,” said Ponmudi R.
Mayank Jain said that the 26,300 – 26,350 zone now serves as a crucial resistance-turned-trigger for Nifty 50, and a sustained close above this band could pave the way towards 26,500+. Immediate support remains at 26,000–26,050.
Bank Nifty Prediction
Bank Nifty index ended 71.35 points, or 0.12%, lower at 59,681.35 on Monday, forming an Opening Marubozu (red candle) candlestick pattern on the daily chart, reflecting selling pressure at higher levels.
“As per this formation, as long as the Bank Nifty remains below 60,114, the upside is likely to remain capped in the short term. On the downside, immediate support is placed near 59,400 followed by 59,000. Therefore, short-term traders are advised to adopt a buy-near-support and sell-near-resistance approach,” said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivative Research, Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd.
Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities said that the zone of 60,000 - 60,100 will act as an important hurdle for the Bank Nifty index, and any sustainable move above the 60,100 will lead to a sharp upside rally up to the 60,600 level.
“While on the downside, the zone of 59,300 - 59,200 will act as important support for the Bank Nifty index,” said Shah.
