Nifty tech & Bank Nifty view – Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
Bears remained at the helm throughout the day as the benchmark index couldn’t pare the morning loss. However, the correction was limited to 0.62% by the end of the session. Over the near term, sentiment is likely to remain sideways, with 18,500-18,800 to be the crucial range. A decisive breakout from either band may induce a clean directional move in the market.
The Bank Nifty started lower and remained sideward throughout the session. During the day Put writers have protected 43,000 levels; whereas on the higher end the index failed to move beyond 43,150. The daily RSI has entered a bearish crossover. Over the short term the trend is likely to remain sideways to negative. On the lower end, support is visible at 42,900/42,700.

Rupee vs dollar view – Amit Pabarii, MD, CR Forex Advisors
The Indian rupee rose in November by more than 1.70%, marking its first monthly gain this year and ending its longest losing streak in nearly four decades as the USD entered into a strong bearish trend. Yesterday, the USD-INR pair had tested the 81 mark for a few minutes but oil marketing companies and importer’s rush along with an intraday fall in Yuan spark a rally towards 81.30 levels. Overall, weaker USD, and stronger domestic fundamentals could pave the way for rupee to appreciate towards 80.80 to 80.50 in the near term. On the flip side, 81.30-81.50 will act as a crucial resistance zone for the pair.
