For the outlook on the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Vaishali Parekh said, “The week witnessed a strong gain for Nifty index with consecutive gains for 12th straight session, breaching above the previous peak zone of 25,078 level to scale the all-time high level creating history and is anticipated for further rise with bias and sentiment maintained strong."

“The index has projected initial target of 25,600 level in the coming days with 24,900 level maintained as the important support with the broader markets also actively supporting the benchmark index," said the stock market expert.

“Bank Nifty has been sluggish overall, as compared to Nifty index, with the 50EMA zone at 50,800 levels maintained as an important support and upside would need a decisive breach above 51,800 zone to establish strength. The index has further targets of 53,500 and 55,000 levels once the 50,800 zone is decisively sustained," said Parekh.

Parekh said that the Nifty 50 for today has support at 25,100, while the resistance lies at 25,400. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 51,000 to 51,800.
