Market Outlook
Moving to today’s market performance, Nifty presented a mixed yet hopeful picture, slightly pressured around the 22,200 mark but managing to stay afloat thanks to significant contributions from heavyweights like Reliance and HDFC Bank. Despite a broader downtrend in the Nifty 50 universe, the performances of these giants reflected positively on the index. It’s critical to note the ongoing resistance around 22,200, a level we’ve discussed in previous sessions. With Nifty taking multiple supports around 21,900, today’s slight selling pressure below the 22,125 mark signals cautious trading as we approach the financial year’s end. Yet, if heavyweight stocks maintain their strength, we might witness Nifty breaking past this resistance, potentially paving the way towards new highs.
