Weekly Chart- Nifty50

Nifty

 

 

We have applied parabolic SAR which used to determine the price direction as well as draw attention to when the price direction is changing. A series of dots placed below the price which is deemed to be a bullish signal. Prices also took support from its slopping line and closed above it buying seen if able to give breakouts of its resistance level.

Nifty find support near 15000 while 16000 will act as a psychological resistance.
 

WEEKLY CHART- BankNifty

Bank Nifty

 

 

Bank Nifty was weak against Nifty last week. As per Moving averages, 20 days EMA is also placed in the region of 33900 level which is coinciding with the pivot levels. Thus closing below this EMA is much needed  for selling pressure and unless this happens, it can continue to act as hurdle for now.

Banknifty support is placed near 33900 while on higher side 36000 will act as an immediate resistance.
