Expert Outlook:

  • According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, the current market texture is non-directional, with traders awaiting a breakout on either side.

  • Analysts expect the Bank Nifty index to extend consolidation in the range of 56,500-57,600 in the coming sessions. A move above 57,600 will open further upside towards 58,200-58,500 levels in the coming weeks.
  • The NSE Nifty 50 may face resistance at 25,600, while 25,400 remained the crucial support zone.

Global Developments:
