A list of important headlines from across news agencies that could help in your trade today.
After two days of decline and a fall below crucial short-term moving average, the Nifty managed to bounce back on Wednesday and close above its crucial resistance level of 10,770, making a 'Harami' pattern on the daily charts.
Formation of a bullish candle after a large bearish candle suggests that the trend may be reversing. The smaller candle is usually located within the vertical range of the larger body. However, the pattern will only get confirmed if the bullishness continues in Thursday's trade as well. The Nifty should sustain above 10,700 for the bulls to remain in control.
Investors are advised to remain cautious and watch trading activity carefully over the next few sessions. A slip below 10,698 could result in the downtrend resuming, while a close above 10,840 could tilt the trend upward.
The Nifty, which opened at 10,734, rose to an intraday high of 10,781 on Wednesday. It slipped marginally to hit an intraday low of 10,724, before ending the day at 10,772, up 61 points.
The Bank Nifty erased the losses made over the last three sessions and closed above its immediate hurdle of 26,500. It formed a strong bullish candle after the weakness of the last four sessions, and now it has to hold above 26,500 to witness an up move towards 26,750, suggest experts.
According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 10,736.73, followed by 10,701.47. If the index starts moving upwards, key resistance levels to watch out are 10,794.53 and 10,817.07.
The Nifty Bank index closed at 26,557.7 on Wednesday. The important Pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 26,386.8, followed by 26,215.9. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 26,651.71, followed by 26,745.7.

RBI MPC meet minutes: Common man seems to be experiencing inflationary pressure
Rising inflation hitting the common man and uncertainty in markets across the globe were the primary reasons behind the Reserve Bank of India decision to raise interest rates in its latest monetary policy review.
