Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities, said,"The Nifty is likely to open near the 22800 - 22900 area, but follow-through will be closely watched out for. 23000 will be the first round-number hurdle, followed by the all-important 23000 - 23500 zone where the 50- and the 100-day moving averages are offering resistance." “After the gap-up expected today, bulls would not like to see the market drop below 22572, so that will serve as crucial tactical support.
Finishing the day above 22857 will fan further optimism, but we would like to note that volatility is expected to remain high due to the rate at which global newsflow is evolving,” Chinchalkar added..
