Markets: The Road Ahead

From a technical standpoint, SEBI-registered analysts on Stocktwits shared the trade setup.

Investment advisor Nidhi Saxena of The Trade Bond noted that Nifty continues to trade in a narrow range of 25,000–25,300. A sustained move above 25,300 could trigger short covering, while 25,000 remains a key support level for the index.

For Nifty Bank, she added that the underlying trend remains positive with immediate support placed at 56,200 on an hourly closing basis. A move above 56,770 is likely to trigger short-term momentum and extend the upmove.

Global Cues

Globally, Asian markets traded mostly higher, while crude oil prices held firm after falling to a five-month low.
