Nifty outlook

"We suggest continuing with positive bias until Nifty breaches 19,450 and prefer sectors other than banking and financials for long trades," said Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research at Religare Broking.

Nifty Bank outlook

"Nifty Bank's next support is situated at the 43,300-43,250 zone, serving as a crucial line of defense for the bulls. If this level holds, it could pave the way for a potential recovery towards the 44,000 mark. However, a breach of the mentioned support may intensify selling pressure, leading the index further down towards the 42,700 level on the downside," said Kunal Shah from LKP Securities.
