Day Trading Guide for August 3, 2023

On outlook for Nifty today (August 3), Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The short term trend of Nifty has turned down and one may expect more weakness in the coming days. The next crucial lower supports to be watched around 19,200-19,100 levels in the coming week. Any pullback rally up to 19,600-19,650 could be a sell on rise opportunity.”

Ashwin Ramani, Derivatives & Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, highlighted that Bank Nifty closed below its 20 DEMA of 45,347 for the first time since 26th June. The support for Bank Nifty is now placed at 44,500, and a break below this level could drag the index down to 43,600, where its next visible support is located. Bank Nifty closed at 44,996, down 597 points.

Experts from SAMCO Securities mentioned that the bulls’ attempt to bounce back would be crucial for the stock market on August 3. Failure to do so might indicate the beginning of a healthy correction after a sharp uptrend.
