On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index seems to have turned down and one may expect some more weakness in the short term. The near-term uptrend of the market remains intact and further weakness down to the immediate support of 21550-21500 levels could be a buying opportunity.”

On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “Bank Nifty cracked 807 points on an Intraday basis to close at 45,012. The call writers built significant positions at the 46,000 & 45,500 Strike in the Index. Both call-and-put writers battled out at 45,000 Strike in Bank Nifty. The option activity at 45,000 Strike will provide cues about Bank Nifty’s future direction. If the current trend continues, Bank Nifty can extend its fall further until 44,500 levels.”

On the outlook for the stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal said, “After the hawkish tone of RBI, we expect the market to remain sideways and consolidate in the near term.”
