Nifty Prev. Close: 24219.05
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!18th August High Tested, But Sustainability Falters – Nifty continues to test the 18th August high, but the index is struggling to sustain above the crucial level, indicating a lack of follow-through momentum. A decisive and sustained breakout above this level could strengthen the recovery and pave the way for further upside, while repeated failure to hold above it may keep the index within a consolidation phase. Traders are advised to remain cautious until a clear breakout is established.
Amid mixed trends across overseas markets, the Nifty is likely to witness a muted opening. After the initial hour of trade, the index may shift into a consolidation phase with a mixed bias, while stock specific activity is expected to remain prominent.
The Nifty’s core trading range is likely to remain between 24100 and 24400. A decisive break on either side could trigger further movement towards 24000 or 24500, respectively.
From a positional perspective, investors may adopt a Buy-on-Dips strategy, with 23700 remaining the key deciding zone. This level has repeatedly attracted strong buying interest and has been followed by price movements of over 4% on several occasions. However, a decisive close below the interim behaviour shift zone of 23700 could signal a sustained change in market behaviour, opening room for a continued decline towards the 23000 zone, where fresh buying demand may emerge.
