“The prevailing sentiment stays negative as the index continues to stay below the crucial moving average. Looking at the upper range, the sell-on-rise approach might be more effective as long as the level of 19525 remains unbroken. On the downside, levels around 19250 serve as immediate support in case of any decline,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities

"The Bank Nifty index displayed resilience by maintaining the support level of 43,600, which aligns with its 100-day moving average (100DMA). This support zone becomes crucial for adopting a buy-on-dip strategy. A key resistance level at 44,200 awaits, and surpassing it could trigger short-covering and a potential move towards the 45,000 level. The momentum indicator, RSI, entering the oversold region suggests a potential rebound. This possibility becomes more significant if the mentioned support level holds,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities

“USDINR spot is trading at 83.14, up 18 paise, due to rise in the US bond yields and fall in the Chinese currency. We suspect RBI may have intervened and sold dollars. However, over the near term, bias remains upward and we could USDINR breaching 83.24, previous all time highs. We expect a range of 82.90 and 83.80 on spot,” said Anindya Banerjee, VP - Currency Derivatives & Interest Rate Derivatives at Kotak Securities Ltd

With continued Fed Reserve policy tightening, the Gold price fell to its lowest point in five months. Concerns about inflation have persisted despite 11 rate hikes since March 2022, which may call for further monetary tightening. In the European session, Gold is trading slightly positive after recovering from the support level near Rs 58,400. The price would likely encounter significant resistance at Rs 58,600, and if it did, we may anticipate a price retreat in the direction of Rs 59,000, as per Choice Broking
