NIFTY50

At the beginning of the week, the Nifty started on a downward trend, breaking through its 200-DMA. For the first four trading sessions, the index hovered around its 200-DMA. However, on Friday, the index opened with a gap up and maintained a positive momentum throughout the session. Additionally, the volume was high, indicating a robust close for the index.

After Friday's move, the market trend changed from a downtrend to neutral. A follow-through strong day is necessary, characterized by the Nifty gaining 1.5% and higher trading volumes compared to the previous day, to confirm an uptrend. On the other hand, if the recent low of 17255 is broken, the market trend will shift to a downtrend.

The Nifty index is expected to have a support level of 17300 in the upcoming week, with 18000 projected to act as a minor resistance.

BANK NIFTY

Bank Nifty ended the week 3.36% on the positive side. Bank Nifty is still trading within the budget day’s range. A breakout on either side can lead to good momentum. As we discussed earlier, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank are two important stocks that can lead the rally on the positive side.

The Bank Nifty index is expected to have a support level of 39400 (which is also its 200 EMA) in the upcoming week, with 42000 projected to act as resistance.
