(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Indian markets opened mildly higher on Wednesday, with early trade showing signs of consolidation near key resistance levels as the Nifty hovers around 25,100.

As of 9:30 a.m. IST, the Nifty 50 climbed 25 points to 25,129, while the Sensex was up 82 points to 82,474.

Nifty media and oil & gas led sectoral gains on Wednesday, up 0.7% and 0.6% respectively, while PSU banks and FMCG indices lagged, slipping 0.2% and 0.4%.

Analysts suggest traders stay cautious as the Nifty hovers near key levels. Low volatility and falling option premiums indicate limited directional momentum ahead of expiry.

Mayank Singh Chandel highlighted 25,200 as a strong resistance and 25,100 as a key make-or-break level, advising traders to avoid aggressive directional trades unless the index breaks above 25,200 or below 24,950. 

Ketan Mittal also flagged 25,200 as resistance and pegged support at 25,050, noting the index is currently trading within a tight channel. 

Meanwhile, Ashish Kyal said a break above 25,170 could resume the uptrend toward 25,280, while 24,890 remains a crucial support.
