Sensex Prediction
According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, the Sensex has formed a bullish candle on the daily charts, indicating further upside momentum. He noted that 84,500 and 84,150 would act as key support zones, and a decisive breakout above 85,000 could propel the index toward the 85,300–85,500 range.
Nifty 50 Prediction
Analysts believe that Nifty appears to have completed a five-wave impulsive pattern, with the recent breakdown below its rising trendline suggesting the start of a corrective phase. The index is finding it difficult to sustain near 26,000, while momentum indicators are weakening.
Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, highlighted that a decisive move above 25,950–26,000 could open the next upside towards 26,250–26,300, while pegging 25,750 as immediate support.
Bank Nifty Prediction
Bank Nifty traded in a tight range on Thursday, showing early signs of buying at lower levels but lacking a clear breakout. Analysts said the index is hovering near crucial technical zones, and the next move will determine short-term direction.
Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP – Technical and Derivative Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates, noted that Bank Nifty formed a bullish candle, signalling renewed interest at lower levels. He advised short-term traders to buy near support and book profits near resistance.
