NIFTY50

After a strong run-up from the end of March, starting from levels of 16,900, the Nifty has had a superb rally, nearly touching the 20,000 level in mid-July. Post that, the Nifty has been on a decline over the last two weeks, falling by 0.66% this week to close at 19,517.

This week, the Nifty opened on a positive note, rising 0.55% in Monday’s trade. However, it saw a sharp decline over the next three days with a marginal recovery on Friday, where it managed to close 0.7% higher than the previous day. A correction like this is healthy for the markets in the long run.

For the next week, the immediate support level stands at 19,150. If this level is broken, we may see a further downside in the upcoming weeks. On the other hand, if this correction move has been completed, the Nifty can bounce back to levels of 19,800 next week. The Nifty’s performance in the coming week will give a clearer picture of whether it may fall further or move towards touching the magical figure of 20,000.

BANK NIFTY

Banknifty has also seen a correction, similar to Nifty, over the last two weeks. This week, Banknifty fell by 1.29% to close at 44,879. During the past week, Banknifty experienced sharp falls on Wednesday and Thursday, dropping more than 1% on each of these days. However, Friday showed a slight recovery, gaining 0.82% over the previous day.

After the fall in the last two weeks, it remains to be seen whether Banknifty will continue its decline in the coming week, or if it will once again attempt to cross its resistance level of 46,000. On the lower side, it has support at 43,600, and breaking this level will lead to another downward move. Otherwise, it may recover from the losses of the previous week and surpass the levels of 45,550 by the end of the coming week.
