“Nifty can find support at 24,200 followed by 24,150 and 24,050. On the higher side, 24,500 can be an immediate resistance, followed by 24,550 and 24,600,” Hardik Matalia, Research Analyst at Choice Broking, said.
“The charts of Bank Nifty indicate that it may get support at 50,200, followed by 50,000 and 49,800. If the index advances further, 50,600 would be the initial key resistance, followed by 50,700 and 50,800,” he added.
“Traders holding long positions should hold with the strict stop loss of 24200 on a closing basis. If Nifty manages to hold above 24400 it can further lead towards 24550-24650 levels,” recommended Matalia.
