Nifty Extends Corrective Phase Amid Weak Global Cues - Religare Broking Ltd

NIFTY

* Nifty remained under pressure on Wednesday, extending the prevailing corrective phase amid weak global cues.

* Technically, the Nifty has tested its trendline support around 24,000 after seven consecutive sessions of decline.

* A decisive break below this level could extend the correction towards the 23,650–23,800 zone.

* On the upside, the 24,200–24,400 region is expected to act as a strong resistance band in case of a rebound.

* Given the prevailing combination of elevated crude prices, geopolitical uncertainty and weak market momentum, we recommend maintaining a cautious, stock-specific approach with a strong focus on risk management.

 

BANK NIFTY

* The banking index extended its decline for the second consecutive session, while continuing to consolidate between the 20 and 50 DEMA, indicating a lack of directional conviction.

* Following a weak opening, the index remained range-bound throughout the session.

* Sectoral breadth was mixed, with Yes Bank and Kotak Bank relatively outperforming, while ICICI Bank and SBI underperformed.

* Immediate resistance is positioned near 58,100, whereas 56,650 remains the crucial support zone.
