“Technically, this pattern indicates breather type formation post sharp upside breakout of Wednesday. The bullish rising three method pattern is still intact, and one may expect further upside in the near term,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

He believes the near-term uptrend of the Nifty 50 remains intact. The upside targets to be watched around 22,800 levels in the next one week (1.618% Fibonacci projection of long-term up and down swings).

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

Nifty 50 Prediction

The Nifty 50 index shifted into a narrow range movement on March 7 and closed the day higher by 19 points after recording a new all-time high at 22,525 levels during the day.

“The Nifty 50 stayed below the psychological 22,500 mark, with call writers at the 22,500 strikes significantly increasing their positions. On the downside, support is expected to hold at 22,400. The buy-on-dips strategy is likely to persist as long as it remains above 22,400,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities.

According to him, on the upside, a decisive move above 22,500 could trigger buying interest in the market, potentially pushing the index towards 22,700 in the short term.

Bank Nifty Prediction

The Bank Nifty index declined 130 points to close at 47,834 on March 7.

“Bank Nifty faced resistance at the 48,000 level, finding support at 47,750. Nevertheless, the weekly closure indicates a resilient bullish momentum, with pivotal support identified at 47,500 and resistance at 48,200,” said De.

A conclusive breach above the 48,200 threshold, confirmed by a closing basis, could catalyze a bullish upswing towards levels of 48,500 and 48,800, he added.
