On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Ganesh Dongre of Anand Rathi said, “On the Nifty front, the 50-stock index closed near the support level of 22100–22200 zone, if Nifty holds this support level, then upward movement can be seen for the Nifty in the upcoming days. Now the next resistance for the nifty spot will be 22500-22600. As per today’s chart pattern, we have seen the gap up opening but immediately Nifty has seen profit booking for the rest of the day. So, indices closed in negative territory at the end of the day. So, on the Nifty front, currently Nifty is into oversold zone, so we may see short covering in upcoming trading sessions, next Nifty support stands at 22100-22200 level.”
