Day trading guide for Friday Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities, said, "The Nifty 50 index slipped into sharp weakness on Thursday and formed a long bear candle. This could be a precursor to a sharp fall in the 50-stock index.
A breach of 24,694 could take the Nifty down to the 24,367 mark, while 24,920 could be a resistance on the move." On the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, "Bank Nifty opened on a positive note but failed to surpass the high of the shooting star candle, leading to profit booking and closing negatively at 51,289.
Technically, the index has formed a big bearish candle on a daily scale, indicating weakness. On the downside, the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (100-DEMA) is near 51,050 levels. Thus, 51,000-51,050 will support Bank Nifty in the short term.
If the index sustains below 51,000, further weakness could be expected." Q2 results today Around 44 Dalal Street heavyweights have set their Q2FY25 results date on 18th October 2024.
