HDFC Securities Bullish The analysts expect Nifty to push past 22,800 in the short term. A firm move above that level opens the road to about 23,100–23,175. 22,600 22,800 Pharma Note (opens in a new tab)

ShareKhan Neutral Nifty is likely to stay between about 22,350 and 23,100 unless it clears the top end. The short-term target is 23,200, but a close below 22,200 would reverse the view. 22,580,22,410,22,240 22,920,23,090,23,260 Pharma,IT Note (opens in a new tab)

Our read

Where the street agrees, and where it is split

Where the street agrees: HDFC Securities, Angel One, LKP Securities and Anand Rathi all see 22,800 as the key wall and 22,500–22,600 as the first floor. Sharekhan, with a wider 22,350–23,100 range, fits the same picture. Most expect a range-bound day unless 22,800 breaks.

Where it is split: HDFC Securities leans positive and expects a break above 22,800. Angel One, Anand Rathi, Geojit and Kotak Neo are more careful and want proof first. On Bank Nifty, Anand Rathi and Sharekhan are both cautious to bearish.

Other cues: GIFT Nifty points to a flat to slightly lower open. Brent crude is near $115 a barrel, close to a six-month high, which hurts India's import bill. The US Fed decision comes late Wednesday (US time), so India reacts on Thursday. US stocks closed higher on Tuesday and Asia is mostly positive. On flows, one report cites FIIs (foreign investors) as net buyers of about Rs 4,240 crore and DIIs (local funds) as net sellers of about Rs 1,250 crore on Tuesday, while another describes ongoing foreign selling, so treat flow data with care. Q2 results and the Jio Platforms listing are also in focus.
