Vaishali Parekh said on the outlook for the Nifty 50 index, "The Nifty 50 index witnessed a decent gain during the week, scaling the all-time high zone and breaching above the 23,000 levels to strengthen the trend, and sentiment was maintained positive. The index is buoyant, with further targets of 23,200 and 23,500 levels expected in the coming days, and 22,800 would be the important near-term support zone that needs to be sustained."

"The Bank Nifty has gained strength with a big bullish candle formation breaching above the crucial 48,300 zone and has opened the gates for next higher targets of 49,600 and 50,700 levels in the coming days. The index needs to maintain above the near-term important support of 47,500 levels for the bias to remain intact," Parekh said.

Parekh went on to add that the Nifty today has support at 22,800 levels while resistance is seen at 23,200 levels. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 48,600 to 49,400 levels.
