Stock market today

On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Ganesh Dongre said, "On the Nifty front, we are now closed near to the resistance level of 22500–22600 zone, which may keep the movement sideways for the Nifty in the upcoming days. Now the next resistance for the Nifty spot will be 22800–22900. As per today's chart pattern, we have seen the gap-down opening but then continuing its bullish trend pattern for the rest of the day and closing in positive territory. So, on the Nifty front, until the time Nifty holds above its support level of 22400–22450, the 50-stock index will remain in a bullish trend until the resistance level of 22800 to 22900."

"On the Bank Nifty front, we have seen a gap-up-down opening on Thursday, but it continues its bullish trend for the rest of the day, so for the upcoming trading session, Bank Nifty support will be at the 48,000 level and resistance will be at the 49m000 level," Dongre added.
