Wednesday Trade Setups
Offering his expert analysis on the Nifty 50 index, Osho Krishan, veteran senior analyst, technical and derivatives research at AngelOne, said, “From a technical perspective, there have been subtle changes in the price chart of Nifty, but the recent small candlestick formation clearly indicates exhaustion of bullish strength and may trigger a price correction after the upside. In terms of levels, 22800-22700 could be considered as immediate support. On the flip side, 23000 will be a major hurdle followed by the lifetime high zone around 23100.”

Commenting on the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, Samco Securities said, “Bank Nifty halted its upward momentum and closed at 49,142.15, down 0.28 per cent. The appearance of a shooting star on the previous day’s trading daily chart suggests higher levels of resistance. A drop below the immediate support level of 49,100 could push the index towards 48,800. To resume its uptrend, Bank Nifty has to decisively surpass the 49,400 level.”
Asked about the outlook for the Indian equity market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal said, “We expect Nifty to maintain a flat to slightly positive trend, supported by reduced FII selling, expectations of above normal monsoon and final phase of Q4 earnings. These factors could open up profit-making opportunities for investors.”
Rahul Ghose, CEO, Hedged In, expects further volatility on Dalal Street and said, “India VIX, after making an intraday low at 22.03, is likely to gradually rise to test the high of 24.48 and close near the high, exerting upward pressure on Nifty, which traded below the opening range of 22957-22992 for most of the day. Bearish OI accumulation of 23000 calls indicates that 23000 will be a hurdle for Nifty to cross in the final expiry week of the May series.”
