On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, "Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel One, said, "On the upside, immediate resistance for Nifty today is placed around 22450 – 22500, which coincides with the bearish gap left last week. On the downside, support is seen at 22200, followed by today's low near 22050 and the psychological mark of 22000. With the weekly expiry ahead, traders should keep these key levels in mind while planning their trades. We advise focusing on stock-specific opportunities rather than aggressive index-based positions to enhance outperformance. Additionally, with ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns over tariff wars, traders should stay alert and avoid complacency as these factors may continue to influence market sentiment."
Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, "The Bank Nifty has formed a bullish candle on the daily chart, indicating strength. On the upside, the index is facing resistance near 48,600-48,660 levels. Sustaining above 48,660 could trigger a fresh move towards the 49,000 level, while on the downside, 47,840 will remain firm support. Traders should actively monitor these levels for potential trading opportunities."
