Trade setup for Thursday

Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "After moving into a range bound action in the mid part of June month, Nifty is now witnessing a decisive upside breakout of the said range movement. The present upside momentum could find resistance at the highs of around 24000-24100 levels (1.786% Fibonacci extension of crucial bottom/top/bottom of 2020-2022). One may expect the next round of consolidation or minor weakness to emerge from the highs. Immediate support is at 23650 levels."

On today's outlook for the Bank Nifty, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, "Bank Nifty marked a new high of 52,988.30, settling at 52,870.50 with a gain of 0.50%. The index closed above a rising trendline connecting previous tops, indicating continued bullish momentum. Additionally, Bank Nifty consistently remains near the upper Bollinger band, signifying the strong bullish momentum. After the successive rises, there might be some consolidation in the 52,200-53,000 zone. However, a breach of the 53,040 level could stretch the index towards the 53,280-53,350 levels."

On the Indian stock market's outlook today, Siddhartha Khemka, Senior Group vice president and Head of Research—broking and distribution at Motilal Oswal, said, "Sentiment for banking and financials has improved after lower current account deficit numbers were released on Tuesday. Overall optimism surrounding the Union Budget, increasing FII inflows, and robust domestic economic data contributed towards the positive movement in the market. We expect the ongoing uptrend to continue further."

India VIX Index

"After inching close to 32 during the Lok Sabha elections, the India VIX has been retracing continuously in June. The Indian volatility index is expected to remain 13 to 14.50 ahead of the Union Budget 2024. After the budget, we can expect the India VIX Index to touch its normal 12 mark," said Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking.
