Vaishali Parekh, Vice President—Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market bias is cautious to positive. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said the Nifty 50 index is in the 24,500 to 24,900 range. She said support for the Nifty today is placed at 24,400, while the 50-stock index is facing hurdles at 24,800.

Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index, after the robust session witnessed some profit booking to cool off from the 24900-zone finding resistance and has arrived near the important support zone of 24,400 to 24,500 band where it can find some consolidation expecting for another round of fresh upward move in the coming days. The index would need to sustain the important level of 24,400 zone to maintain the overall bias intact, failing which there can be extended profit booking activity with 24,000 as the crucial support."

"The Bank Nifty index, after finding resistance near the 55500 zone, shed its gains to end below the 55,000, with bias remaining intact and having the important support zone of 54,000, which needs to be sustained. On the upside, the index has the crucial hurdle of 56,000, which needs to be breached decisively to trigger a breakout and expect a fresh upward move in the coming days," said Parekh.

Parekh said that support for Nifty today is placed at 24,400, while the resistance is at 24,800. The Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 54,500 to 55,600.
