Tech View :: What are the next targets on Nifty?

Nifty witnessed another lackluster day; in fact, the index remained very range-bound, staying broadly within 23,450 and 23,650. Sentiment continues to favor short-term bullish trades as the index sustained above the 55 exponential moving average (EMA) on the hourly chart.

The short-term trend remains strong, and any dips towards the 55-hour EMA, which is currently pegged at 23,340, might get bought into. On the higher end, in the short term, the index might move towards 23,800 and beyond.

Tech View :: 'Nifty Bank remains buy-on-dips opportunity'

The Bank Nifty index continued its strong momentum post-breakout and approached the mark of 52,000. The strong momentum is likely to continue, with immediate support at the 51,000-50,900 zone. The index remains in a buy mode, and dips should be bought aggressively for targets of 52,100-52,600.

Govt plans telecom PLI scheme revamp, may focus on MSMEs and exports

The move to expand the scheme stems from the increasing need to set up a full-scale telecom manufacturing ecosystem in the country, and covering a larger set of network equipment will be key to it, the officials said.
