Stock market today: Despite weak global market sentiments, the Indian stock market ended higher for the third day in a row on Wednesday. The Nifty 50 index finished 121 points higher at 24,978. The BSE Sensex scaled 285 points north and closed at 81,741, whereas the Bank Nifty index was 121 points higher at 51,620. In the broad market, the mid-cap index outshined frontline indices of the Indian stock market. However, the small-cap index ended 0.14 percent lower than the previous session.
Trade setup for Thursday
Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “The short-term trend of Nifty continues to be choppy, but the near-term uptrend status remains intact. The chart pattern signals more consolidation or minor dip in the next 1-2 sessions before bouncing back from the lows. Immediate support is at 24,600. However, a decisive move above 25,100 is expected to bring bulls back into action.”
On the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta, said, “The Bank Nifty index opened on a positive tone, maintained bullish momentum despite turbulence, and ended the day on a positive note at 51,553. Technically, the index faces rejection from a falling trend line at 52,300 levels. Thus, 52,000-52,300 will serve as a resistance zone for the Bank Nifty, while 51,000 will be strong support.”
US Fed meeting outcome in focus
On how the outcome of the US Fed meeting would impact the Indian stock market today, Amit Goel, Co-Founder and Chief Global Strategist at Pace 360, said, “The US Fed Chief Jerome Powell conveying a high probability of a rate cut in its September meeting should have a positive impact on the Indian market. We see a high probability of Nifty opening with a gap-up post-US FED meeting and continuing its march beyond 25K levels.”
Expecting the bull trend on Dalal Street to continue, Ajit Mishra, SVP — Research at Religare Broking, said, “Markets may extend their gains and potentially surpass the 25,000 milestone on the Nifty index.”
