Analyst Note
"Buoyant sentiments are driven by India's impressive Q4FY24 GDP growth of 7.8 per cent, surpassing expectations, with the fiscal year's growth standing at 8.2 per cent," said Varun Aggarwal, founder and managing director, Profit Idea. However, he cautioned that market volatility is anticipated as the final election results draw near.

The charts of Bank Nifty indicate that it may get support at 50,000, followed by 49,900 and 49,800. If the index advances further, 50,300 would be the initial key resistance, followed by 50,500 and 50,700, added Mehta.
