Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd, "“The Nifty opened flat to a positive note on Wednesday in line with global markets, but thereafter the index has witnessed profit booking and remained under pressure. Finally, Nifty settled the day on a negative note at 24,324. Technically, the index has engulfed yesterday’s bullish candle and formed a hanging man candle near the all-time high. According to this pattern, 24,461 will act as a short-term hurdle for the index. On the downside, 24,200 and 24,000 will act as good support for the index."


"The Bank Nifty opened on a negative note and remained under pressure throughout the day. Finally, Bank Nifty settled the day on a negative note at 52,189 levels. Technically, on a daily scale, the Bank Nifty is currently placed near the lower end of the short-term consolidation zone (52,000-53,360). If Bank Nifty maintains its 52,000 support level, a relief rally is probable. On the flip side, sustenance below 52,000 levels could trigger further weakness in Bank Nifty,” he added.
