Analyst View for Tomorrow
Kunal Singla suggests that the index needs to reclaim 26,904.35, the previous close, to turn the tone constructive, with 26,683.10 the support to watch.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that the small fall suggests selling is slowing, but the divergence between HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank leaves direction unclear.
