Technically, the index remains range-bound, indicating consolidation. A decisive breakout on either side is needed for the next directional move.
A flat with cautious opening is expected for the Nifty reflecting neutral tendencies in global markets. The trend is likely to remain non-directional, with sector specific movements dominating the session. As long as the index trades within the 24,000 to 24,300 range, consolidation may persist. A decisive break could push the index towards 24,400 on the upside or 23,900 on the downside.
Traders may continue to adopt a Sell-on-Rise strategy.
Positionally, the trend is likely to stay under pressure as long as the index trades below the April 22 low. A meaningful bullish reversal would only be confirmed with sustained moves above 24,500 backed by consecutive closing levels.
