Nifty index opened positive, but fell sharply in the initial hour of the day, after which it consolidated in a lacklustre manner on Tuesday.Further, while Nifty share price also managed to close above 24,800-24,850 zones, it has to decisively cross the 25,000 zones for the next leg of rally to commence. 

 

Nifty has formed a 'bearish' candle on daily frame and has started to make higher highs – higher lows from the last two sessions. Now, it has to hold above 24,800 zones for an upside move towards 25,000, followed by 25,250 zone. Nifty share price has support at 24,700 and 24,600.

Bank Nifty outlook today

 

Bank Nifty index opened on a flattish note near 56,000 zones, but failed to hold its gains and gradually drifted lower towards 55,650 zones in the latter part of the session on Tuesday. It formed a small bearish candle on daily scale as selling pressure was seen at higher zones. The index is hovering near its 20-DEMA. While the Nifty Bank index has got stuck in a wider range with supports intact at lower levels, the momentum is missing at higher zones. Now, it has to hold above 55,750 zones for a bounce towards 56,000, and then towards 56,250 levels. A hold below the same could see some weakness towards 55,555 and 55,250 zones.
