On the outlook for the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Parekh said, “Nifty witnessed a consolidation phase during the week hovering near the important 50EMA near the 25,000 levels and is precariously placed with bias maintained with a cautious approach.”

“The index would have the near-term support at around 24,700 level while the upside, it would need a decisive breach above 25,400 zone to improve the bias overall,” said the stock market expert.

“Bank Nifty after witnessing the steep slide, it has taken support near 50,200 zone as of now and consolidating within a narrow band of 51,000 and 51,600 levels, it has sustained near the important 100 period MA at 51,250 zone. The index would have the important near-term support at around 50,000 levels while on the upside, it needs to breach above the 51,800 level decisively to establish some conviction,” said Parekh.

Parekh said that the Nifty 50 Spot for today has support at 24,800 points, while the resistance lies at 25,150 points. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 50,700 to 51,600.
