Market Review: Key Levels Amid Market Volatility

Technical Analysis:

Benchmark indices experienced a volatile trading session on Tuesday. Nifty closed 72 points higher, while Sensex gained 158 points.

Sector Performance:

• PSU Bank Index: Recorded the highest gain, up by 1.40%.
• Defense Index: Recorded the highest loss, down by 2.35%.

Technically, in the backdrop of strong global sentiment, the market opened with a gap up, but it faced selling pressure at higher levels. From the day's high, the market saw a sharp decline of more than 300/1000 points. A bearish candle formed on the daily chart, which indicates potential further weakness if the market breaks the 25,000 level. However, crossing 25,320 would signal a purely positive outlook.

Key Levels for Day Traders:

• Support Zone: We believe 25,000/82,000 will act as a key support zone for day traders.

• Resistance Zone: A move above 25,320 will be purely positive.

• Potential Bounce: Above the support level of 25,000/82,000, we can expect a technical bounce towards 25,200–25,300/82,500–83,000.

• Potential Downside: If the market moves below 25,000/82,000, the correction could extend towards 24,850–24,800/81,600–81,500.

Bank Nifty Technicals:

• Support: 56,100
• Resistance: 56,850–57,100
• Bearish Trigger: If Bank Nifty falls below 56,100, it can decline further towards 55,700–55,500.

Strategy for Nifty:

• Buy if Nifty crosses 25,320 with a stop loss at 25,100.
• Sell if Nifty breaks 25,000 with a stop loss at 25,100.
