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.

A fair reading of this nifty private bank prediction for tomorrow is that Thursday's data sets the context, while Friday's first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
