Tech View: Nifty signals further up move towards 26,000 mark

Nifty opened with gains and traded with a positive bias during the day to close with gains of 148 points. On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty is rising steadily towards the upper end of the rising channel 26,000 – 26,100 zone. The divergence on the daily and hourly time frame momentum indicator is hinting towards caution however until there is specific evidence of a weakness on the price front, we shall continue to ride the upmove with a trailing stoploss mechanism which should be kept at 25,700.
 
Bank Nifty has witnessed follow-through buying interest after closing at an all-time high in the previous trading session. The bank Nifty is heading towards 55000. Intermediate pullbacks or intraday dips should be used as a buying opportunity. The support zone is now placed at 53350 – 53500 as per the principle of role reversal.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Euphoria from Fed rate cut continues to lift the market

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Rupee appreciated on Monday amid positive domestic markets'

-- Indian Rupee appreciated on Monday amid positive domestic markets with domestic equities hitting fresh all time highs.

-- However, Rupee lost initial gains on a strong American currency (US Dollar) and firm crude oil prices.

-- The US Dollar recovered on disappointing PMI data from France, Germany, Eurozone, and the UK. India's Services PMI fell to 58.9 in August VS 60.9 in July.
 
-- We expect Indian Rupee to trade with a slight positive bias on positive global equities and fresh FII inflows.

-- However, a recovery in the greenback and elevated crude oil prices may cap sharp upside.

-- Investors may watch out for US GDP, consumer confidence and core PCE price index data from the US this week. We expect USDINR to trade in the range of 83.35-83.75
