For the outlook on the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Vaishali Parekh said, “The Nifty index is witnessing a steady gradual rise and has closed above the important resistance zone of 24,750 levels with bias and sentiment maintained positive, anticipating a further rise in the coming days."

“The psychological near-term target of 25,000 levels can be expected with 24,400 zone maintained as the good support level. Bank Nifty has been finding tough resistance near the 50-EMA zone of 50,800 levels and is moving within a narrow range for the past 2 sessions," said the stock market expert.
