Here’s a rundown of today’s expected market movements…

Nifty Technical Analysis:

Technically, the market is currently experiencing non-directional movement at higher levels.

It's consistently encountering resistance near 19,450 and finding support near 19,350-19,300 levels.

For a fresh bullish trend to emerge, the index needs to reject above 19,450, allowing it to rise towards 19,500-19,525.

Conversely, rejection of 19,300 could increase selling pressure, leading the market to slide further towards 19,250-19,100.

Based on the momentum oscillator, the market is showing signs of becoming trendless in the short term, which may result in sharp moves to both sides.

Trading Strategy for Nifty:

For the Nifty, traders should be cautious of the resistance near 19450 and support around 19350-19300 levels.

Consider long positions if the index rejects above the resistance level, with targets around 19500-19525 levels.

On the downside, watch for a potential slide if the support levels are breached.

Bank Nifty Analysis:

Support for the Bank Nifty lies at 43750-43650. As long as the index doesn't break the 43600 level, it has the potential to bounce back from lower levels anytime.

In the Bank Nifty, look for buying opportunities if it bounces back from the support levels of 43750-43650, keeping a close watch on the 43600 level.
