On the outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty has been steadily on the rise from 23,350 levels, making new highs with the undertone maintained very bullish. We anticipate a further rise to the next targets of 24,500 and 24,900 levels in the coming days. The psychological near-term support would be at the 24,000 zone, below which the bias can turn a little bit weak."
"The Bank Nifty index, except for HDFC Bank as of now, rest of the frontline banking stocks has indicated improvement in the bias to anticipate further upward movement to carry the index to new heights with targets of 53,500 and 55,100 levels visible in the coming days," said Parekh.
