GIFT Nifty traded down 23 points, or 0.12%, at 19,570.5, indicating a negative opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Thursday. Previously on Wednesday, the NSE Nifty 50 fell 140.40 points or 0.71% to settle at 19,671.10, while the BSE Sensex shed as much as 551.07 points to 65,877.02.
“Nervousness remained high amidst deepening Middle-East tensions, as Israel-Palestine conflict deepens. Other negative factors such as Uninspiring Q2 from corporate India Inc, the 10-year US Treasury yields spiking to 4.85%, rising expectations of one more interest rate increase from the Fed, and anxiety ahead of Powells Thursday’s speech continue to weigh on the sentiment. Technically, Nifty’s biggest support is placed at the 19,509 mark, while confirmation of strength for the index can be seen once it surpasses the 19,887 mark hurdle,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.

Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Research, Religare Broking believes that, “fresh weakness in banking and financial majors combined with a downtick in other heavyweights like Reliance is pointing towards further slide. On the index front, a decline below 19,600 in Nifty would again turn the bias on the negative side. We suggest maintaining hedged positions and advise keeping a check on position size citing the prevailing choppiness.”

Technical View
Commenting on the technical outlook of Nifty 50, Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said, “The Nifty opened on a flat note and witnessed a sharp correction during the day. It continued to drift lower throughout the day and closed around the lows for the day. It closed in the negative down ~140 points. On the daily charts we can observe that Nifty has faced resistance from around the 61.82% fibonacci retracement level (19,850 – 19,885). On account of the correction the Nifty has now reached the zone of 19,670 – 19,640 where support in the form of 20- and 40-day moving averages are placed. Bollinger bands are contracting, indicating that consolidation is likely over the next few trading sessions. In terms of levels, 19,640 – 19,600 shall act as a crucial support and 19,770 – 19,800 is an immediate hurdle zone for the Index.”
Bank Nifty Outlook
On Wednesday, the Bank Nifty index shed as much as 520.80 points or 1.17 to settle at 43,888.70. “The Bank Nifty index experienced a bearish phase, encountering strong resistance at 44500, where the highest open interest is concentrated. The weak undertone in the market suggests a preference for selling on price rallies, and a breach of the 43,800 support level is expected to lead to further selling pressure. The index’s position below the 20DMA reinforces the bearish sentiment in the near term,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.

Read moreFallout: New Vegas holds kind of a weird spot in the Fallout canon. It’s widely regarded as the best of the Bethesda-era Fallouts (although personally, I preferred Fallout 3) and it’s also viewed by many as sort of a red-headed stepchild: No matter how many times Todd Howard insistently denies it, there’s a lingering sense among some fans that Bethesda—which did not actually make New Vegas—would like to bury it.
With all that in mind, not to mention that both Obsidian and Bethesda are now Microsoft studios, it’s not surprising that expressions of hope for a new Obsidian-made Fallout occasionally bubble to the surface. But would Josh Sawyer, the project coordinator, lead designer, and system designer of New Vegas, have an interest in leading the project? Well… sure. W…
Read moreLords of the Fallen’s final update, version 1.5, gives it what every good action RPG must have: a randomizer mode for the sickos who thrive in the chaos of unpredictable enemies and loot.
A list of new options to modify the normal structure of the game will now be available when you’ve completed it. You can randomize the loot dropped by enemies and the types of enemies that show up. Other options include pre-upgraded loot drops, weaker healing, more enemies, permadeath, and fewer (or zero) of the game’s Dark Souls bonfire-like checkpoints, or “Vestiges”.
In our Lords of the Fallen review, Harvey wasn’t a fan of its brutal mid-to-late game enemy ambushes, which he said “occasionally feel downright cruel.” In the roadmap of updates since its release last October, however, deve…
Read moreMass Effect, as we all know, has always hungered in its secret heart to become a twitchy first-person shooter. To cast aside the aged moniker of “RPG”, whatever that means, and to transform into the helter-skelter, thrill-a-minute Call of Duty-like it was always meant to be.
Well, some dreams cannot be denied. Thanks to the ongoing MassFPS mod series, you can now transform two thirds of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition into a first-person cover shooter. Okay, I admit they’re still very much Mass Effect games, so it’s probably a bit more like turning them into proto-Starfield rather than COD, but I still find myself rather impressed by how well these things work.
Created by a modder named Aphar, the MassFPS mod got its most recent release—for ME2—at the beginning…
Read moreStar Wars: Dark Forces is the latest nineties’ PC gaming classic to receive an overhaul from remastering maestros Nightdive Studios. But as this month’s PC Gamer magazine reveals, LucasArts’ shooter has proved unusually challenging from a technical perspective. Speaking to PCG’s print editor Robert Jones, Nightdive’s project lead on Dark Forces explains the game features a homebrew equivalent to modern multi-threading that was years ahead of its time.
“Dark Forces has been difficult to change, from the technical end of things, because it is very heavily over-designed,” says Max Waine. “There were a lot of small details in how LucasArts did things at the time that made stuff particularly difficult.” One of these things was the aforementioned multi-threading solution. “They managed …

Delightfully-themed Demonic Deckbuilder Power Chord has unleashed its mightiest lineups, arriving out of Early Access and into a full release. In Power Chord you “Assemble Earth’s mightiest musicians, each with their own unique cards and gear, to fight your way through the hordes and destroy the only guitar powerful enough to reopen the scratch between worlds.”
We first got a look at the uniquely-themed Power Chord in late 2021, when a demo first showed off its stylish aesthetics and explosively metal sounds. It stood out from the pack at the time because it was so clearly trying to do something new and interesting that others in the genre weren’t. It combines multiple characters, but isn’t purely class-based.
For those who want some variety to their roguelike deckbuilding, …
Read moreTheme park management sim and vomit-soaked hellscape creation tool RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 has played host to some real horrorshows. Streamer Marcel Vos is responsible for many of them, having built record-setting tracks like the nightmarish one that takes 12 real years to complete. His latest work puts that in perspective: it takes over three quinvigintillion years to complete. A quinvigintillion is a one with 78 zeros after it.
Vos calls it the Universe Coaster, and it’s not exactly a thrill a minute. As his 14-minute video explains, via Kotaku, it begins with a looping coaster that runs along a long, spiral track at a speed of about a kilometer per hour. The track ends in nothing, though there is a decorative skeleton in a top hat, but the coaster doesn’t crash at this dead end.…

There are different levels of jealousy that you can assign to Sims now: getting jealous at non-physical romance, physical romance, “WooHoo”, or if you don’t want to have to deal with all that emotional mess, you can change it so that they won’t get j…
