“Having witnessed a decisive upside breakout of 19,900 levels, there is a possibility of continuation of sharp upside momentum for Nifty in the coming sessions. One may expect formation of new all-time highs above 20,250-20,350 levels in the next few sessions,” Shetti added.
Here’s what to expect from Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty today:
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 witnessed strong gains on November 29 and closed above 20,000 for the first time after September 20, 2023.
“Nifty moved up smartly as the bulls remained at the helm following a consolidation breakout on the daily chart. Besides, the index is sitting comfortably above the crucial short-term moving average. The overall trend looks positive with broader market participation and a smart recovery in the Bank Nifty,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.
Over the short term, he believes Nifty 50 might move towards 20,450-20,500 unless it falls below 19,850.

Bank Nifty
The Bank Nifty index rallied 686 points to close at 44,566 on November 29, near its seven-week high.
“The Bank Nifty witnessed a robust comeback by the bulls, driving the index up by over 700 points. Currently in a strong buy mode, the index has established a solid support base within the 44,300-44,200 zone, providing a cushion for bullish sentiment,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.
He believes the next significant hurdle for the index is at 44,700, and its ability to decisively surpass this level will determine whether a period of consolidation is in store for the near term.
