«On the daily charts, we can observe that Nifty has held on to the support zone of 21,550 – 21,530 and witnessed a sustained buying interest throughout the day. On the hourly charts, the index has reached the upper end of the falling channel, which can lead to some consolidation with a positive bias. On the upside, the immediate hurdle is placed at 22,000 – 22,020 where the daily upper Bollinger band is placed whereas now the support shifts upwards towards 21,650 – 21,670,» said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan.
Rupak De, LKP Securities, said, «A decisive move above 21,850 might trigger a strong rally in the market. Beyond 21,850, the Nifty could potentially move towards 22,200. Support for the near term is positioned at 21,700.»
