Tech View :: 'Daily charts show Dark Cloud Cover formation for Nifty'

Nifty exhibited volatility throughout the day, with a prevailing bearish trend. The daily chart indicates the formation of a dark cloud cover, implying a bearish outlook in the near term.

Support is situated at 21,500 on the lower end. A significant decline below this level could potentially initiate a correction in the market. Conversely, sustained trades above 21,500 might lead to an upward movement in the market.

Tech View :: Bank Nifty will hit 46,000 if it breaks this level...

The Bank Nifty index has encountered persistent resistance around the 45,500 level over the last two days. To initiate a sustained upward movement towards 46,000, the index needs to convincingly break through this resistance, which coincides with the highest open interest on the call side.

The immediate support on the downside is situated at 45,000, and a breach below this level could intensify selling pressure, leading to a decline towards 44,700-44,500 levels.
