“Markets are optimistic about the US Fed policy rate cut following Jerome Powell’s supportive comments and the Federal Reserve’s confidence in achieving its 2% inflation target.
Further buying by FIIs over the last three days added to the sentiments. We expect this up-move to continue with Nifty likely headed towards new highs in near term supported by broader market and stock specific action,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal.
Establishing new highs soon is crucial for triggering momentum and paving the way for further gains. Immediate support levels to watch are 24975 and the bullish gap around 24850, while resistance is expected at 25080–25100 and subsequently at 25400.
