Here’s how analysts view today’s (September 2) trading session

 


Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities


A small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and lower shadows. Technically, this indicates the formation of doji type of candle pattern at the new highs. Normally, such doji formations at the new highs alert for trend reversal, but recently few such doji formations have failed to result in any significant reversal in the market.


The short term trend of Nifty remains positive, but the market is not able to gather sharp upside momentum into new highs. One may expect further consolidation or a minor dip from near the resistance of 25300-25400 levels. Immediate support is at 25100. 


Amol Athawale, VP-Technical Research, Kotak Securities


We are of the view that, for the trend following traders now 25,000/ 80,800 would act as a sacrosanct support zone. As long as the market is trading above the same, the bullish texture is likely to continue. On the Higher side, 25350-25500 / 82800-83300 would be the crucial resistance areas for the bulls. However, below 25000/80800 uptrend would be vulnerable. Below the same traders may prefer to exit out from the trading long positions. For Bank Nifty now, 50 day SMA (Simple Moving Average) or 51550 would be the immediate resistance zone. Post 51500 breakout it could rally up to 52000-52500. On the other side, 51000 or 10 day SMA would be the key support zone. Below the same, the sentiment could change. Below it could slip till 20 day SMA or 50625 -50500.


Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas


On the upside we expect the Nifty to target levels of 25,500. On the downside, the crucial support base is placed at 25,000 – 24,900. We shall continue to ride the upmove with a trailing stop loss mechanism.


The Nifty Bank opened on a positive note however it was unable to carry on the positive momentum. It closed on a positive note though well off the intraday highs. Overall, we expect the Bank Nifty to trade within a range of 51600 – 51000 from a short term perspective.
