Trade setup for Thursday
On the outlook for Nifty today, Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager — Technical Research at Anand Rathi, said, "On the Nifty front, the 50-stock index closed near the support level of 22100–22200 zone. If the frontline index holds this support level, upward movement can be seen in the upcoming days. Now, the next resistance for the Nifty 50 index is placed at 22500-22600. As per Wednesday's chart pattern, we have seen the gap down opening and the whole day, Nifty, remain in a choppy trend. After this, indices closed in negative territory at the end of the day. So, on the Nifty front, the 50-stock index is in an oversold zone. Hence, we may see short covering in upcoming trading sessions. The next Nifty support stands at 22100-22200 level."
"On the Bank Nifty front, we have seen profit booking today. Bank Nifty resistance stands at 49,000, and support is at the 47,500 level," the Anand Rathi expert added.
