Here are the key levels that stock market analysts suggest investors track in today’s (September 3) trading session


Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities


A small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with a minor lower shadow. This chart pattern is indicating a gradual upside momentum in the market with narrow range movement. The market has been surging higher recently with weak overall breadth. This is not a good sign.


The short-term trend of Nifty is intact. Though Nifty is placed at the hurdles of around 25350 levels (1.382 per cent Fibonacci extension), still there is no indication of any significant reversal pattern building at the highs. A decisive move only above 25400 could open the next upside target of 25800 levels. Immediate support is placed at 25100.


Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst – Technical & Derivatives, Angel One Ltd


The gravity-defying winning streak of the bulls looks enticing, but the trading range and market breadth certainly showcase exhaustion. Additionally, the technical parameters are very much compliant with over-bought parameters, and hence, a cautious stance with regular profit booking is advisable at the current juncture. As far as levels are concerned, the bullish gap of 25200 is likely to cushion any shortcoming, followed by the strong support of the psychological mark of 25000 in the comparable period. On the flip side, 25350-25400 is to be seen as an intermediate hurdle, followed by 25500 in the near period.


Going forward, it is advisable to take a pragmatic approach and refrain from getting carried away by the Nifty’s winning streak. Maintaining exclusivity while stock selection and staying light on positions is recommended. Furthermore, closely monitoring the global markets, which have significantly impacted our market’s initial tone, is essential.


Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas


On the upside, we expect Nifty to target levels of 25500. On the downside the crucial support base is placed at 25210 – 25120 is the crucial support base where the key hourly moving averages are placed. We shall continue to ride the upmove with a trailing stop loss mechanism.


The Nifty Bank showed some signs of revival however sustainability is a question mark given the weakness in the heavyweights of the index. PSU bank showed signs of resumption of an upmove and could witness positive action over the next few trading sessions. In terms of levels, 51580 – 51700 is the immediate hurdle while 51000 – 50900 is the crucial support zone from a short term perspective.
