Pre-Market Outlook – 22.05.2026
Nifty Prev. Close: 23654.70
Volatility persists, Structure strengthens – The Nifty remained volatile after opening with a modest Gap-UP backed by positive global cues. Profit booking at higher levels capped the early gains, keeping the index range-bound through the session.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Another Gap-Up opening is likely for Nifty mirroring positive global cues. The index may turn range-bound between 23700 and 23900, with a decisive break on either side likely to determine the next directional move towards 24100 or 23600.
The high and low of 21st May may play a crucial behavioural role in determining the market’s near-term direction.
Improving market structure slightly favours a Buy-on-Dips approach for the day.
However, as long as Nifty trades below the key behavioural shift zone of 23,700, positional traders are advised to avoid aggressive position building and continue following a cautious Sell-on-Rise strategy.
