16:29 (IST) 19 May 2023 Where is share market headed after Nifty settles above 18200, Bank Nifty near 44000

Benchmark indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex concluded Friday’s volatile session broadly in green. “The domestic market, though experienced a lack of decisive direction, closed the day on a positive note. The optimism in the US market was fuelled by progress in debt ceiling talks and stronger-than-expected jobless claims. However, the prospect of a stronger US economy suggests that the Federal Reserve may keep policy rates elevated for an extended duration,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Share Market Outlook Today

08:53 (IST) 19 May 2023 Nifty could retest level of 18280-18300

“Nifty has formed a lower top formation on intraday charts and has also formed a bearish candle on daily charts which is broadly negative. The market texture is weak and the 20-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) or 18050 would be the immediate support zone for the bulls. On the other hand, 18200 could act as an immediate resistance zone for the traders, above which the index could retest the level of 18280-18300,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd.

Share Market Outlook Today

08:52 (IST) 19 May 2023 Nifty range of consolidation is 18400–18000

“Going ahead 18300–18350 shall act as a stiff resistance. On the way down the Nifty is approaching the crucial support of 18079 which coincides with the 20-day moving average and below that lies the psychological support level of 18000. The daily momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal. Thus, considering the above we have changed our outlook to sideways and the range of consolidation is 18400–18000,” said  Jatin Gedia, Technical Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

Traders should exercise caution while initiating substantial long positions as the current market indicators lack clarity and strength,” said Ameya Ranadive, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
