Election results day often brings a wave of volatility and excitement to the stock markets.

This blog delves into the trading strategies and outlook for Nifty and Bank Nifty, providing insights from leading market analysts.

Nifty Uptrend

The market ended the session of June 3 with robust gains, following exit polls that indicated a strong majority for the NDA government in the Lok Sabha election. Analysts expect the Nifty to march towards the 23,500 level with support at 22,000. Bank Nifty needs to stay above 50,000 to sustain upward momentum towards the 52,000 mark.

On June 3, the Nifty 50 closed 733 points or 3.25 percent higher at 23,263.90, and Nifty Bank surged 1,996 points or 4.07 percent to 50,980. About 1,496 shares advanced, and 825 shares declined on the NSE, reflecting a positive market sentiment.

Nifty Outlook and Strategy

Jay Thakkar, Vice President & Head of Derivatives and Quant Research

Jay Thakkar highlights that Nifty has provided a breakout on the upside from the rising channel. The momentum indicator MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is well into the buy mode, which is a positive sign for the bulls. The India VIX, a measure of market volatility, has also fallen sharply, indicating that the breakout is likely to sustain.

  • Key Resistance: 23,500, 23,800
  • Key Support: 23,000, 22,800
  • Strategy: If Nifty opens flat, then buy and add more near 23,200 and below 22,100, targeting 23,500. If Nifty opens gap up, buy on dips; if it opens gap down, buy as well.
  • Stop-Loss: 23,100

Mehul Kothari notes that Nifty 50 closed near the upper end of the rising channel. A gap-up move in the upcoming session would confirm a breakout, potentially leading to a fresh rally. The FIIs’ (Foreign Institutional Investors) long-short ratio in index futures indicates they are heavily short. Optimism could force them to cover their shorts, further fueling the upside.

  • Key Resistance: 23,300, 23,500, 23,800
  • Key Support: 23,100, 23,000
  • Strategy: Buy on dip near 23,200
  • Stop-Loss: 23,000

Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart

Pravesh Gour believes the overall trend is bullish. Dips around 23,080-23,100 could be a good opportunity to buy. A breakout above 23,383 could signal a move towards 23,500. If it slips below 23,080, it could move towards 23,000 levels, with crucial support at 22,800.

  • Key Resistance: 23,383, 23,500, 24,000
  • Support: 23,100, 23,000, 22,800
  • Strategy: Consider buying near 23,100

  • Key Resistance: 51,500, 51,700, 52,000
  • Key Support: 50,500, 50,300
