Key growth drivers for CDSL

Nifty outlook

"Nifty successfully held the 18,940-support level. Immediate resistance on the upside is identified at 19,100, and a breakout above this level may trigger short-covering moves toward the 19,250-19,300 range. Conversely, if the lower-end support at 18,940 is breached on a closing basis, it could intensify selling pressure, potentially pushing the index to new lows," said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities

Nifty Bank outlook

"For Nifty Bank, immediate resistance is observed at 43,000, where significant open interest is concentrated on the call side. A breach above this level could trigger short-covering moves towards 43,500. Conversely, the lower-end support is positioned at 42,400, and if it is breached on a closing basis, it may escalate the selling pressure," Shah from LKP mentioned
