The day\u2019s direction depends on its ability to hold 25,740. A sustained close below it in one hour might drag the index towards 25,600 to 25,500. Only by breaking above 25,960 without breaching support could aid buyers favourable momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Although Nifty has posted consecutive closes above 25,740, follow-through buying is missing. Heavy selling in IT stocks, with the sector index falling over 5% yesterday, has dampened sentiment and may cap near-term upside.<\/p>\n<p>Traders may prefer defensive names and adopt a stock specific approach.
