These levels are expected to provide strong buying opportunities as they represent areas of accumulation where the risk-reward ratio is in favor of buyers. On the upside, resistance is expected at 42,250, 42,725, and 43,200. These resistance levels will act as potential profit-booking zones for traders.
The anticipated consolidation range for the index is between 42,250 and 41,335. A trade above or below this range would trigger momentum in the direction of the breakout.
Until then, traders should focus on buying near the support levels and taking advantage of any dips for short-term gains. The overall trend remains positive, and the index could resume its upward movement once the consolidation phase is complete.
For risk-averse traders, the best approach would be to wait for a breakout before entering new positions, as a close above 23,800 would signal bullish momentum, while a break below 22,700 could initiate a bearish move. Risk-tolerant traders, however, can employ a sell near resistance and buy near support strategy.
Selling near 23,800 with a tight stoploss could yield profits in the short term, while buying near 22,700 offers a low-risk entry point for long trades.
In the event of a breakout, the direction of the trade will be dictated by the index closing above or below the range. Until that happens, the best trading strategy for the Nifty Pharma Index is to capitalize on the range by selling near resistance and buying near support.
