Morning Market Views:

Indian Markets again gave sharp reversal from the intraday highs in the last session all thanks to some selling in the banking index heavyweights on the higher zones. Nifty managed to hold the previous week lows of 23300 mark but the resistance of 23800 is not breached. The overall trend of the index still seems to be sideways and will turn bullish only above 23800 on the daily charts. On the flip side, if the index slips below 23300 then major sell off may be seen. Banking stocks once again came under pressure in the initial trade in the last session but witnessed some good buying at the lower zones. The private sector banks lead the gains while PSU banks witnessed selling flows. The trend of the index seems to be cautious with support for the index placed around 52800 for the day while 53800 remains stiff resistance.
