Share markets outlook for today (December 20)

"The broader market sustained its optimism, but the incremental rally is contracting. Investors are cautious ahead of the Eurozone inflation data announcement, which is forecast to drop marginally. The dovish stance by BOJ maintained the market sentiments. Amid this, the price of oil stabilized as the US government announced plans to protect the shipping route through the Red Sea. After the recent rally of growth stocks, investors are exhibiting interest in consumption stocks as a bargain strategy," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

Nifty outlook today (December 20): Analyst view

"Nifty found support just above the 21EMA on the hourly chart, prompting a strong recovery in the latter part of the session. The momentum indicator maintains a positive crossover, suggesting ongoing strength. The bullish trend is expected to persist as long as it stays above 21,350 consistently. On the upper side, Nifty is likely to encounter resistance from call writers at 21,500. A definitive breakthrough above 21,500 could potentially initiate a substantial market rally; until then, consolidation appears probable,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities

Bank Nifty Technical View today (December 20)

"The Bank Nifty index maintained its consolidation phase within a range but needs to close above the crucial level of 48,000 to sustain the upward momentum. The lower-end support is positioned at 47,800, and a decisive break below this level on a closing basis may trigger additional selling pressure in the market,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities
