Markets Ahead
There is a high chance that Bank Nifty would test 40,500 levels tomorrow, but we can expect a fall after that. What levels should we watch if a fall happens? On the downside mark 39,570 support: it’s going to be a major one.
What if Bank Nifty breaks the resistance? Here, if Bank Nifty moves above 40,600, we can expect sell on rise situation.
Meanwhile, if the fall continues in NIFTY, we should watch 17k as the support zone. On the upper side, 17,490, 660, and 835 are going to be very strong resistances.
I am expecting a huge move in HDFC Bank this week. To get more clarity, we need to watch how the stock reacts around the 1560 and 1643 levels.
