"The Nifty opened on a positive note and traded with a positive bias and closed with gains of 90 points.  The daily and the hourly momentum setup is providing divergent signals which can lead to a consolidation in the short term. The daily Bollinger bands are also contracting which points towards a consolidation in the short term. In terms of levels, 19,615 – 19,560 shall act as a crucial support zone, and on the upside 19,830 – 19,850 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone," said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

Broader market 

Broder market indices also ended in the positive territory with Nifty Midcap 100 at 37,050.10 up by 0.44 per cent and Smallcap 100 at 11,578.95 up by 0.17 per cent. 

Sectoral watch 

Nifty Bank settled at 46,062.35 up by 0.47 per cent. 

"Bank Nifty also witnessed a bounce from the cluster of 45,670 – 45,700 where support parameters in the form of the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement level and the 40-hour moving average were placed. The fall as well as the rise on the hourly time frame are overlapping in nature which gives us a sense that the Bank Nifty is undergoing a corrective phase that is not over yet. Once this consolidation phase is over, we can expect the uptrend to resume and expect it to target levels of 46,500," said Gedia.
