Nifty 50 May Futures (22,545)

Nifty 50 has begun the week on a weak note. The sharp fall seen on Friday last week is continuing to weigh on the index. It is currently trading at 22,456, down 0.08 per cent. The advances/declines ratio is at 19:31. This gives a bearish bias.

Nifty 50 outlook

Intraday resistance is around 22,600. Nifty can fall to 22,300 during the day. The chances of the fall extending even up to 22,100-22,000 this week cannot be ruled out.

Nifty has to rise past 22,600 first and then breach 22,800 to become bullish again. Only in that case, bullish view of seeing a rise to 23,000 will come into the picture again.

Nifty 50 Futures

The Nifty 50 May Futures (22,545) is down 0.15 per cent. The contract has come down after testing the resistance at 22,700.

The contract has to get a sustained rise above 22,700 to bring back the earlier bullishness and rise to 22,900 and higher.
