Pre-Market Outlook – 24.03.2026
War Pause Sparks Hopes of Recovery – A pause in geopolitical tensions has infused a sense of optimism into the markets, offering the Nifty a potential breather after recent volatility. The easing of risk-off sentiment is likely to support near-term recovery, especially as global cues stabilise and risk appetite gradually returns.

If it sustains above immediate supports and manages to reclaim nearby resistance levels, a gradual pullback rally could unfold. However, the recovery may remain selective and sentiment driven, with global developments continuing to play a decisive role.
Traders should remain cautiously optimistic, while the pause in conflict reduces downside pressure, confirmation through price action and follow through buying will be crucial to validate any sustained uptrend. Until then, expect range-bound movement with a positive bias.
A cheerful Gap-Up opening is on cards for the benchmark indices, supported despite mixed global cues, supported by the news of pause in war conflict.
As discussed in the recent days, the 23rd March high and low range remains crucial, any breakout could define the next directional move. Holding this range may support an intraday rebound toward 23,300 to 23,500, with dips offering buying opportunities. Sustaining above 23,100 could strengthen the base and attract further buying interest.
From a positional view, it is insisted that the index must hold the 19th March low and reclaim 23,740 with follow through to confirm a meaningful recovery. Failure to hold supports may drag the index toward 21,800 or lower.
