The market sentiment appears positive, with the NSE Nifty 50 sustaining well above the crucial 50-day moving average, according to Rupak De, senior technical analyst at LKP Securities.
After the breakout of the index, a rise towards 25,350 looks likely, De said. “A decisive move above this level could trigger a rally towards 25,700. On the downside, support is placed at 24,850; a breach below this level may lead to a shift in sentiment,” he said.
While NSE Nifty 50 has broken out of its long consolidation phase, the breakout candle is not very encouraging and signaling a potential reversal, according to Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Shares.
Aditya Gaggar highlighted that Tuesday’s trading activity will be crucial in determining whether the current trend will continue or reverse. “The key resistance and support levels are currently placed at 25,220 and 25,000, respectively,” he said.
