Mandar Bhojane, Research Analyst of Choice Broking said, “In the Nifty 50, the daily chart shows a bearish candle, reflecting profit booking after a pullback from key support levels.
Immediate support is placed at 23,800 and 23,680, which align with strong Fibonacci levels. These zones could act as potential reversal points, offering a buying opportunity if confirmed by price action.
On the upside, 24350 serves as immediate resistance. A sustained move above this level could propel the index toward 24,800 and 25,000, unlocking significant upside potential,” he said.
