It touched an intraday low of 24,838.75 and a high of 25,084.05 before closing at 25,044.65, up 58.25 points or 0.23%.Gupta said the index formed a daily candle with a long lower shadow, indicating buying interest at lower levels. However, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 77.88, suggesting that the market was in an overbought zone."Immediate support is placed at 24,850–24,900, while resistance is seen at 25,150–25,200," he said.According to Gupta, a sustained move above 25,150–25,200 could open the door for further gains. However, the elevated RSI reading also leaves room for consolidation or profit booking at higher levels.Sectorally, PSU banks, private banks, pharma, healthcare and realty stocks were among the stronger performers. Auto and financial services stocks also traded positively.On the other hand, IT, cement, metal and FMCG stocks witnessed selling pressure, limiting broader sectoral gains.Gupta also pointed to derivatives data, with put writing around 25,000 indicating support near current levels. On the higher side, call writing at 25,100 and 25,200 suggests resistance.Bank Nifty outperformed the broader market on Monday, gaining 890.60 points or 1.51% to close at 59,741.25. The index formed a strong bullish candle after breaking above the 59,600 level in the second half of the session.Its immediate support is placed at 59,300–59,400, while resistance is seen at 60,100–60,200.NIFTY COULD MOVE TOWARDS 25,400, 25,800Pabitro Mukherjee, Deputy Vice President-Research at Bajaj Broking, said the Nifty was consolidating around the 25,000 mark after a strong rally of nearly 11% over the past two weeks.He said the index had completely retraced its nine-week decline from 24,774 to 22,179 in just five weeks. According to him, the faster recovery indicates underlying strength and opens up the possibility of further gains in the coming weeks."Faster retracement of the previous major decline in almost half the time interval signals strength and opens further upside in the coming weeks towards 25,400 and 25,800 levels," Mukherjee said.For the immediate trading session, he placed resistance at 25,250 and identified 24,775–24,700 as the support zone, corresponding to the previous week's breakout area.Mukherjee cautioned that the Nifty had gained more than 2,600 points in the last 11 trading sessions, making some consolidation possible.He also said the short-term support for the index had moved higher to 24,000–24,300, which coincides with the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a previous gap area.As long as the index holds above this zone, the broader market bias is likely to remain positive, he said, adding that investors could use market dips as buying opportunities.WHAT ABOUT THE US STOCK MARKET?While Indian equity markets are closed on Tuesday, US markets are scheduled to open later in the day.The Nasdaq will resume trading after a rally in the previous session. Developments in US technology stocks could remain important for Indian investors, particularly given the influence of global market sentiment on domestic IT and technology shares.Investors will also track global cues, foreign institutional investor activity and movements in crude oil and currency markets when Indian equities reopen.For now, the domestic market's technical outlook remains positive, supported by the recent rally and buying interest in banking and healthcare stocks. However, elevated momentum indicators and the possibility of profit booking mean that the Nifty's ability to hold above key support levels will be important in determining its next move.(Disclaimer: The views, opinions, recommendations, and suggestions expressed by experts/brokerages in this article are their own and do not reflect the views of the India Today Group.
