Pre-Market Outlook – 28.04.2026
Nifty Retreats as Bulls Lose Grip – The benchmark index opened marginally higher and witnessed sustained buying, recovering after three sessions of decline. Technically, it remains in a consolidation phase within the 23,700 to 24,500 range, with a breakout on either side likely to determine the next direction. As long as Nifty holds above Friday’s support, a Buy-on-Dips approach remains favourable. However, elevated crude prices and geopolitical tensions may keep volatility high in the near term.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The opening trend is anticipated on a cautious note amidst mixed signals in global markets. The remaining day’s movements may be expected between 23900 and 24200. If it breaks either side ranges, Nifty may see 23800 or 24300, respectively.
From a positional perspective, as long as Nifty sustains below the April 22 low, selling pressure may persist in the near term. A bullish shift requires a sustained move above 24,500 with consecutive closes.
Until then, traders should trim longs on rallies and avoid aggressive positions. A decisive move above 24,700 would signal the next uptrend.
