Nifty Weekly Chart Technical Outlook
Equity benchmarks edged lower on Wednesday
amid subdued global cues ahead of ahead of US
Fed policy. Nifty settled the session at 14721,
down 189 points or 1.3%. In the coming session,
volatility would remain high owing to volatile global
cues and weekly derivative expiry. We expect the
index to maintain positive bias after a gap up
opening. Hence, after a positive opening use
intraday dips towards 14810-14835 to create long
position for target of 14924.
Going ahead, 14700 will be the key levels to watch,
as holding above 14700 on a closing basis would
keep pullback option open towards psychological
mark of 15000 levels. Failure to do so will lead to
extended breather. Bank Nifty is also placed
around the key support area of 34000. As it
commands 40% weight in Nifty, hence holding
above the key support area of 34000 on a closing
basis will lead to a meaningful pullback in bank
index which would lead nifty higher.
