TRADE SETUP FOR APR 29
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a strong bullish candle, recovering all of the previous session's losses and closing near the day’s high—indicating strong buying interest from the support zone around 23,800.
Notably, the past four sessions have seen highs converging around the 24,365 level, which is likely to act as immediate resistance in the upcoming session. A decisive move the same will pave the way for further upside towards 24,550 levels, which marks the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire decline from 26,277 to 21,743.
However, failure to break above this resistance may signal extension of the last 4 sessions consolidation within the 24,350–23,800 range following the recent rally.
Volatility is expected to stay elevated due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, developments related to tariffs, and the unfolding Q4 earnings season.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,390 followed by 24,500 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,210, followed by 24,050.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,730, followed by 56,000, while downside support is found at 55,120, followed by 54,800.
