Nifty key levels to watch on July 30; Check top stock picks for today

Nifty outlook

Breaking a three-session losing streak, the Nifty gained 140 points (0.57 per cent) to close at 24,821 on Tuesday, July 29. After opening 71 points lower, the index immediately reversed course, staging a recovery of almost 250 points from its early morning low of 24,598 to reach 24,847. The Nifty's close near the day's high resulted in a bullish 'engulfing' candlestick pattern on the daily chart. Consequently, previous day's low of 24,598 now establishes itself as a new support level for the Nifty. In the short term, 24,882 and 25,000 are identified as crucial hurdles on the upside.
