Nifty To Be Range-Bound, Mid And Small Caps To Gain Momentum, Says Analyst
Benchmark equity indices snapped their three-day rally and ended lower on Tuesday.
The truncated trading week in India will result in the headline Nifty 50 being rangebound in a consolidated set-up, while the mid and small caps will witness bullish momentum, according to market analyst Kunal Shah.
"No big movement is coming in this truncated week for the Nifty and Bank Nifty indexes. It will be sideways, but mid and small caps will gain traction," said Shah, senior technical and derivative analyst at LKP Securities Ltd.
The range for the Nifty is 21,850–22,200, he said. For the Bank Nifty, Shah pegged 47,000 as the resistance level, a breach of which will lead to short covering towards 48,000.
Benchmark equity indices snapped their three-day rally and ended lower on Tuesday as losses in heavyweights dragged them, while broader indices ended higher.

Shah expects real estate stocks to consolidate after a near-two-year outperformance, with the investing approach being company-specific.
