Nifty 50 Outlook

Nifty 50 index saw bulls taking control right from the first tick, driving the index up by around 200 points in the initial hour of the session, reaching a high of 22,577 on March 17.

“However, post this the momentum faded out as the Nifty 50 index remained range bound within 90-100 points, consolidating within the opening hour’s candle. It formed a bullish candle on the daily chart and closed with gains of 111 points near 22,500.

“Later on, Bank Nifty remained consolidative in a narrow range of 150 points in between 48,250 to 48,400 levels and closed with gains of around 300 points near 48,350 levels. It formed a small bullish candle on daily scale as buying is visible at lower levels but momentum is missing at higher zones. Now, it has to hold above 48,250 zones for a bounce towards 48,500 then 48,750 levels, while on the downside support is seen at 48,250 and then 48,000 zones,” Taparia said.
