Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Unless the index delivers a decisive close above the 25740 on daily basis, upside moves may continue to attract profit booking. On the downside, holding 25600 as day’s support is crucial to maintain the improving bias.
Amidst neutral trends in major global indices, our markets are likely to open on a flat note. The index may continue to oscillate within the 25600 to 25900 range, with a Buy-on-Dips approach prevailing within this band.
A decisive close above 25740 could pave the way for a positional move towards 26300 and higher.
