What will happen today? 

Nifty Index: Today, Nifty Index may open on a positive note near 21950-21995 levels; if open, trade and sustain above 21995 then, the index may test 22025-22055-22095-22125-22155-22195 levels. On the other hand, the immediate support lies at 21875-21850 if, the Index moves below 21850 then, it may try to re-visit 21820-21795-21760-21730-21690-21655 levels.

Special Mention: Yesterday, Nifty Index continued the pull back move near our threshold resistance levels i.e, 21965, made a high 21953.85 and closed above 21870. As written last week, it looks difficult for the index to move above the recent all time high levels i.e., 22126.80 for time being, unless it moves and closes above 21965-22055, then only it can continue the rally till 22125-22210-22460 levels. On the other hand, the support seen at 21515-21450, further weakness below 21450 then, the Index may try to re-visit 21330-21140-20975 levels in the near term. Let see how the Index opens today at 21950-21995 levels.
