Analysts say a close below the level of 15760/ 52550 would be negative for the market

Nifty futures were trading 21 points or 0.13 per cent up at 15,884.50 on Singaporean Exchange, indicating a gap-up start for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on weekly F&O expiry day. In the previous session, the Nifty 50 index logged gains, while the Bank Nifty remained on the back foot and lost 200 points from the highs. Analysts say on the day of the weekly expiry of index options and the quarterly results of the index giant Infosys, markets would see the levels of 15950/53200 in the near term in case the Nifty/Sensex survive above the levels of 15800/52700. “On the other hand, below the levels of 15800/52700, benchmark indices would find support at 15760/52550 and at 15740/52450 levels. A close below the level of 15760/ 52550 would be negative for the market,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research, Kotak Securities.
