Tech View: 'Nifty is likely to remain range-bound or might experience a slight dip in near term'

-The sentiment has entered an indecisive phase as the Nifty closed with a Doji pattern on the daily chart. The significant presence of both call and put option writers at the 25,000 strike price strengthens the technical setup. 

 

- As a result, the Nifty is likely to remain range-bound or might experience a slight dip in the near term. On the lower end, 24,800 could act as immediate support, while a rise above 25,100 might push the Nifty towards 25,300.

'Domestic market witnessed profit-booking near record highs'

- The domestic market witnessed profit-booking near record highs. While the positive expectations regarding a potential rate cut by the Fed in September remain, the recent geopolitical tensions and rising crude oil prices have made investors cautious amid high valuations.

- IT and financial stocks continued to perform well, whereas FMCG and metal stocks saw declines. Further, the recent shift in FII stance towards the domestic market and the anticipation that the RBI will align with the Fed’s actions are expected to foster a positive outlook in the near term.
