Analyst Recommendations:
Jatin Gedia, Sharekhan: On the daily charts, Nifty has shown buying interest from the support zone at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 24,170, signaling the start of the next upward movement. This move is expected to progress towards the Fibonacci extension targets of 24,563 to 24,823. The hourly momentum indicator has shown a positive crossover, suggesting a high probability of the countertrend pullback rally continuing over the upcoming trading sessions.
Hrishikesh Yedve, Asit C Mehta Investment Intermediates: After opening flat and experiencing an initial dip, Nifty demonstrated a strong recovery to close positively at 24,467. The volatility index, INDIA VIX, rose by 1.57% to 14.52, indicating heightened market volatility. Technically, Nifty formed a bullish candle following an Inside Bar pattern, suggesting buying interest. If the index holds above 24,493, it may see additional gains in the 24,600–24,700 range, with strong support at 24,070, favoring a ‘buy on dips’ strategy.
Tejas Shah, JM Financial & BlinkX: As long as Nifty maintains its position above 24,000, the current pullback rally is likely to persist. However, the index faced resistance around the 24,450 to 24,500 levels in recent sessions, requiring a decisive close above these levels for continued strength. Nifty’s support is observed at 24,200 and 24,000, with immediate resistance at 24,450-500, and a crucial resistance zone at 24,700-750.
