POST-MARKET SUMMARY 22 August 2023
The markets closed marginally higher in an extremely rangebound session today. Traders chose a cautious approach, opting to observe from the sidelines following a period of turbulent trading in the preceding week. Amidst the constrained movement, there was noticeable interest in purchasing power and capital goods stocks. Conversely, Indian IT stocks underperformed even though the tech-centric Nasdaq saw a notable rise in the previous trading session.

Nifty has formed a small-bodied bearish candlestick with a minor upper shadow on the daily chart, indicating lack of strength at the higher levels. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 19,500 while immediate support is at 19,250.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 123 points higher at 44,125 and closed at 43,993. Bank Nifty has formed a bearish candlestick on the daily scale. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 44,400 while support is at 43,700.
