- Summary:
- Nifty 50 index rebounds from key support at 21,812 as Indian markets recover. Will the rally hold, or is more downside ahead?
India’s benchmark Nifty 50 index posted a strong recovery this week after briefly slipping below the critical 22,000 mark. The bounce comes amid easing global risk sentiment, stronger-than-expected services PMI data, and selective buying in heavyweight sectors like banking and IT.
However, with volatility still elevated and geopolitical headlines weighing on global markets, the question remains — is the correction over, or is this just a dead-cat bounce?
Chart Analysis: Key Support and Resistance Levels
- Immediate Resistance: 22,802 – The index is hovering near this level. A close above it would open the door to 23,788.
- Major Resistance: 24,184 – 24,797 – A breakout beyond this zone would be needed for the Nifty to retest all-time highs.
- Immediate Support: 22,000 – 21,812 – A crucial area that held this week. A break below could lead to a deeper selloff.
- Major Support: 21,000 (unmarked) – This psychological level could come into play if global risk-off sentiment returns.
Nifty 50 Outlook: What’s Next?
Nifty’s recovery from 21,812 support is encouraging, but the index needs a sustained move above 22,802 to build bullish momentum. Traders should watch for confirmation through volume and sectoral strength. On the downside, any break below 22,000 would likely accelerate selling pressure.
Until a firm breakout or breakdown occurs, the index may remain range-bound between 21,800 and 23,800.
