Sectoral stocks of nifty realty, bank, consumer durables, and financial services traded in green. Nifty Auto fell by 1.06 per cent to trade at 20,263.55, and Nifty Pharma slipped by 0.71 per cent at 18,901.90.
Commenting on the nifty outlook, Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “three dojis in as many days along with tentativeness in the 22175-22250 region penciled in yesterday to offer resistance, suggest that there is adequate caution. This provides a platform for large upsides aiming 22450-550 initially. Alternatively, inability to float above 22118, which would be our downside marker for the day, could delay upsides, but with several congestion supports not far below, chances of a collapse is very low.”
Meanwhile, Vaishali Parekh, Vice President - Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd, said, “The support for the day is seen at 22000 while the resistance is seen at 22300.”
