    • Index managed to hold above the lower band of the last 10-session range (24700) on a closing basis and witnessed a strong rebound to close above 24850 on Friday’s session.

    • Nifty snapped its three-session decline and formed a bull candle around the lower band of the last two weeks range (24700-25250). We expect the index to extend the consolidation. Hence, a move above Friday’s high (24886) will open upside towards 25100 & 25250 levels in the coming sessions.

    • Immediate support is at 24700. only a closing below the same can lead to extension of current decline towards 24350 levels in the coming sessions being the confluence of 100 days EMA and the 80% retracement of the previous up move (23893-26277).
