14:40 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty, Sensex outlook remains negative
“The outlook remains negative on the Indian indices from a medium-term perspective. The Bank nifty index is likely to underperform the nifty index going forwards as well. The Nifty pvtbank index and financial service index has given a major breakdown which will lead to selling pressure amongst all the financial stocks. One should keep a sell-on-rise approach on the bank nifty index with strong resistance at 40000,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.

09:54 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty inability to float above 17030 will allow 16800 trajectory to continue
“The full achievement of the 16930 target, as well as the proximity of the lower extremity of a multi month trend channel, encourages us to look at reversal chances. Whilethe closing hour yesterday did not leave any false hopes of recovery, the previous day had a similar trading pattern, albeit with similar peak, but lower low. This Amplifies the positive divergences that have been persisting for a while now, setting up a recovery rally towards 17470. Alternatively, inability to clear 17185 or inability to float above 17030 will allow the 16800 trajectory to continue,” said Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
09:31 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Bank Nifty immediate resistance at 39800-40000
“Bank Nifty’s little support is located between 38400 and 38500, while immediate resistance is located between 39800 and 40000 levels,” said Ameya Ranadive CMT, CFTe, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Bank Nifty fall below 39000 may trigger corrections towards 38800-38500
“Bank Nifty failed to capitalise on the early gain as the index closed below the previous session’s low at the end of a volatile session. The index has sustained below the critical short-term moving averages on the daily chart. The momentum indicator is in the bearish crossover. A fall below 39000 may trigger further corrections towards 38800/38500. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 39500,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Bank Nifty first support at 38849 and then 38504
Bank Nifty first support at 38849 and then 38504 and resistance at 39798 and 40401, according to Rahul Sharma, JM Financial.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Bears to command up till Nifty doesn’t cross 17000
“On daily charts, the Nifty has moved from the middle Bollinger band to the lower Bollinger band, and further declines are expected. Bears will be in command up till Nifty doesn’t cross 17000 levels and maintain 17000. Small support can be found between 16750 and 16800, and immediate resistance can be found between 17250 and 17300,” said Ameya Ranadive CMT, CFTe, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty outlook remains negative
“Nifty has achieved our short term target of 16950 and hence we revise it downwards to 16750 which is the previous swing low. On the hourly charts, we can observe a positive divergence developing however it needs to be confirmed by a daily positive close and hence we shall assign more weightage to the price action as of now and continue to maintain our negative outlook on the index,” said Jatin Gedia, Technical Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty immediate hurdle seen at 17200-17250
“The decisive breach of the 17000 mark undoubtedly dented the sentiments, but as we allude to our previous commentary, the 16900-17000 odd zone is expected to cushion the fall. And we remain hopeful till the market withholds the range. On the higher end, 17200-17250 is expected to act as an immediate hurdle, followed by the sturdy wall of 200 SMA, placed around 17400-17450 in a comparable period,” said Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst – Technical & Derivative Research, Angel One Ltd.
09:30 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty overall trend remains bearish
“Nifty has failed its bullish harmonic pattern and closed well below its potential reversal zone. The index is trading below its 9 & 21 EMA and the slope of the averages has tilted lower. The overall trend remains bearish as prices are trading in a lower low formation and a sell-on rally should be the right approach in this market. The support for the Nifty is placed at around 16,800 – 16,750 levels and resistance is capped at 17,300 – 17,350 levels,” said Rohan Patil, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities.
09:29 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty close below 16950 may trigger further correction
“On the lower end, the Nifty neared the lower band of the falling channel. Going forward, 16950 will likely act as crucial support on a closing basis for the index. Only a close below 16950 may trigger a further correction. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 17150-17200,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
09:29 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Nifty first support at 16937 and then 16848

09:09 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Investors advised to not panic and wait for the storm to pass
“Bad news has shifted from the US to Europe. The refusal of Credit Suisse’s largest shareholder Saudi National Bank to infuse more equity sent the stock plummeting by 30% thereby impacting the European Bank Index which sharply corrected by 8.4%. Since all banks are interconnected, fears of banking contagion are impacting markets. It is important to understand a few facts. One, Credit Suisse has been going through problems for more than a year now. Other European large banks are strong. Two, the crisis in a few US regional banks are unlikely to impact the large US banks and the US financial system. The central banks, treasuries and Deposit Insurance Corporations are moving fast to contain the problem which is likely to be contained shortly. There are no serious fundamental issues like those during the 2008 financial meltdown. Investors should not panic and wait for this storm to pass. Safety is in fundamentally strong large caps,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
08:56 (IST) 16 Mar 2023 Indian equity markets likely to see gap-up opening
“Even as the entire Asian pack is reeling in the red, Indian equity markets are likely to see a gap-up opening in Thursday trades. Intra-day, the markets may continue to witness bouts of volatility owing to chaos in the global financial sector after the problem at Swiss bank Credit Suisse came to the fore even as investors were coming to terms post the fallout of the US-based Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Hence the trading theme revolves around the dramatic spreading of the banking crisis. The ongoing brutal pessimism can also be blamed on relentless selling by FIIs camp, with overseas investors selling local shares to the tune of Rs 1,271 crore on Wednesday. Technically, Nifty’s biggest hurdles are at its 200-DMA at 17447 mark, while immediate support is seen at 16601 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
