On the outlook for the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Parekh said, “After a long time, Nifty has indicated a strong bullish candle to close above the resistance barrier of 23,500 decisively to improve the bias and sentiment. Anticipate fresh upward move in the coming days.”

“The index has moved past the significant 50EMA zone of 23,660 level to strengthen the trend and has opened the targets of 24,000 and 24,600 levels on the upside. The broader markets have also shown active participation to support the indices with strength indicated,” said the stock market expert.

“Bank Nifty has indicated a strong move past the 50,000 zone to improve the overall bias. A decisive move past the significant 200 period MA at 50,850 levels shall further strengthen the trend to anticipate a further rise in the coming days, with targets of 52,400 and 53,300 levels open. The index would have the immediate support of 49,400 level. With frontline banking stocks beginning to gain momentum, the overall sentiment looks positive,” said Parekh.

Parekh said that the Nifty 50 Spot for today has support at 23,600 points and resistance at 24,000 points. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 49,700 to 50,700.
