Stock market today

On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Ganesh Dongre of Anand Rathi said, "On the Nifty front, we still hold the support level of 22,250 to 22,300 zone, which will keep the movement upward for the Nifty 50 index in the upcoming days. The resistance for the spot will be the 22,550 to 22,600 zone; crossing this resistance, we can see an upward rally continue until the 22,900 zone. As per today's chart, we have seen the gap down opening and then continuing its bullish trend and closing near to its resistance level of 22,550 to 22,600 zone. So currently there is a mixed picture for the stock-specific movement, so stock-specific fresh long-buildup is seen in the selected stocks only."
