Nifty index kick-started the session with a gap-up of nearly 100 points around 25,441 and oscillated in a narrow 40-point band during the first half. As the day progressed, bears attempted to drag the index towards the 25,350 territory, but in the final half hour, bulls staged a spirited comeback, lifting prices back near the day’s opening high. Despite intraday turbulence, the buy-on-dips narrative remained firmly intact.
On the daily chart, Nifty formed a small-bodied candle with a longer lower shadow, clearly indicating buying interest near support levels. The index closed with gains of around 90 points and has now been forming a sequence of higher lows for the last seven sessions, reinforcing the positive undertone.
Now, it has to hold above the 25,350 zone for an up move towards 25,550 and then 25,700 levels. Meanwhile, supports have shifted higher to 25,350 and 25,200 zones.
