Chandan Taparia, Technical & Derivative Analyst at MOFSL said, “Now, the Nifty has to hold above 14,750 level to witness a bounce towards 14,900 and 15,000 levels, while on the downside, immediate support exists at 14,700 and then at 14,600 levels.”
Ajit Mishra, VP – Research at Religare Broking said, “we feel banking might help the index to inch further higher, but negative sentiment due to the rise in the Covid cases and mixed global cues would cap the upside. We reiterate our cautious approach and suggest preferring hedged positions.”
That said, here’s a look at what some of the key indicators are suggesting for Wednesday’s action:
