Nifty 50 November futures (24,165)

Nifty 50 seems to be struggling to get a strong follow-through buying. The bounce back move from the intraday low on Monday looks shallow. It also shows lack of strength. The same is visible today also. After opening higher at 24,343, the index has come down giving back most of the gains. It is currently trading at 24,240, marginally up by 0.1 per cent. The advances/declines ratio is at 18:31. This leaves the bias negative.

Nifty 50 outlook

Nifty is facing resistance in the 24,350-24,400 region. A strong break above 24,400 is needed now to boost the momentum and take the index up to 24,600-24,700.

Immediate support is at 24,100 which is likely to be tested during the day. A break below 24,100 can take the index down to 24,000-23,950.

Broadly, 24,100-24,400 can be the trading range for now. A breakout on either side of this range will then determine the next leg of move.
