Here’s what to expect from Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty today:

Nifty 50 Prediction

Nifty 50 index witnessed a sharp upmove on June 25 and closed the day higher by 183 points. The index registered new highs of 23,754 and closed near the highs.

“The Nifty continues to rise on the back of strength in the banking giants. The Nifty moved above 23,700 to make a new all-time high of 23,754, showing resilience amid global sluggishness. Put writers were very active at 23,600 and 23,700, while call writers unwound their positions, causing the PCR to rise. In the short term, the trend might remain strong as long as it stays above 23,500,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities.

On the higher end, he believes the index might continue moving towards 24,000 in the near term.

VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today advises hedging positions to cushion risks where the valuations are very high. She believes Nifty could gain support between 23,660 and 23,600, and notice resistance around 23,790 and 23,900 levels.

Bank Nifty Prediction

Bank Nifty index jumped 902.05 points, or 1.74%, to close at 52,606 on Tuesday.

“The Bank Nifty index broke above the resistance of 52,000, where the highest open interest was built up on the call side. The index is trading in a strong uptrend with higher highs and higher lows intact on the daily chart,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities.

The support now stands at 52,000, and intraday dips should be viewed as a buying opportunity for targets of 53,000 / 53,500, Shah added.
