Nifty Prediction for Today - 20th August

Nifty started the week marginally positive, but the index traded within a narrow range throughout the day and ended above 24550 with marginal gains.

It was a day of stock specific move as the index traded within a range. The IT stocks continued their upmove whereas the private sector banking stocks underperformed, thus restricting the up move on the index. Nifty has now retraced the recent correction by 61.8 percent which is around 24630 and this is the immediate hurdle which needs to be surpassed.

A sustained move above this would hint at a possible momentum towards 25000 again in the near term. On the flipside, the immediate support on any declines will be seen around 24400. Traders are advised to trade with a positive bias and look for buying opportunities in sectors which are showing signs of outperformance.    

 Nifty consolidates in a range, but market breadth remains positive
