Nifty 50 outlook

Nifty (24,515) has good support in the 24,550-24,500 region. This has held very well at the opening trades. As long as the index stays above 24,500, the bias will remain bullish. Some resistance is in the 24,660-24,680 region. A break above 24,680 can take the Nifty up to 24,730-24,750 in the coming sessions.

The near-term outlook will turn negative only of the Nifty declines below 24,500. If that happens, a fall to 24,400 and lower levels is possible.
