Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index continues to be positive amidst high volatility. Having recently moved above the hurdle of 22,250 levels (midpart of Tuesday'sTuesday's long bear candle), the Nifty could move towards the next upper hurdle of 23,200 (upper part of the long bear candle) in the near term. Immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 22,640 levels."

On today's outlook for the Bank Nifty, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, said, "The Bank Nifty ended the session at 49,291.90, up by 0.48%. It is currently holding above the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The index closed above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, which remains at 49,180, providing a solid base. The immediate resistance is placed at 49,700, and crossing this level might push the index to the 50,200 - 50,350 levels. The daily chart's Relative Strength Index (RSI) has yet to show a positive crossover; once this occurs, we can expect a stronger bullish momentum to follow."
Asked about the reason for a rally on Dalal Street, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal, said, "Investors heaved a sigh of relief as the confidence strengthened post two key allies pledged their support to form a new government with the BJP. Even global factors contributed to today's rally as hopes revived for a rate cut possibility in the US Fed's September meeting after weaker-than-expected jobs data. All eyes will be on government formation this weekend along with RBI policy outcome and commentary today."
