Here’s a rundown of today’s expected market movements…
From a technical perspective, the index is trading comfortably above its 50 and 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) following a sharp reversal.
Notably, it is consistently forming higher-lower formations on intraday charts, a positive sign.
It's crucial to note that the markets are nearing a resistance zone, presently situated between 19620 and 19650.
Given this, our recommended strategy is to consider partial profit-taking on long positions or alternatively, take a contrarian approach by selling Nifty within the range of 19600 and 19650, while ensuring a stop loss at 19700.
The support zone is notably distant from current levels, located between 19500-19400.

For Bank Nifty, the support zone is identified between 44500 and 44400.
If it manages to climb above 44750, it may reach the 45000 level.
A resilient Bank Nifty might not breach the 44400 level. Nevertheless, if it drops below 44400, it could potentially descend to 44200-44100 levels.
The Nifty IT index maintains a support zone within the 32100 and 32000 range.
Our recommended strategy for this sector is to consider buying on dips.
