Markets Ahead

Nifty and Bank Nifty were more volatile today compared to the previous days. Profit bookings are happening more frequently.

Once again Nifty struggled above 17,350. Let’s give a little more attention to this level. 

Bank Nifty closes above 38,000! Can you believe it? Bank Nifty started its fall from 38k on April 13 and continued for 65 days. But all those points were recovered in just 46 days!!!

HDFC Bank (-1.1%) and ICICI Bank (-0.69%) closed in the red today. Being Bank Nifty heavyweights, they should be on our watchlist for sure.

Bank Nifty sustaining above 38k and Nifty closing above 17,400 would be a good mixture for another up move. 

FIIs are still on the net buying side, inspiring many to deploy their money.

Major Asian closed in solid red today and UK markets are also trading weak. It is very important to watch how the US market closes today.
