Comment :: 'Volatile, range-bound trade to persist in near-term'

The domestic market has sustained its recovery path from recent lows, aided by a moderation in India’s CPI and favourable signals from its Asian peers. However, investors are cautious ahead of the upcoming US CPI data, which is anticipated to show a slight increase from the previous month and could raise concerns about rate cut expectations. Volatility and range-bound trading are likely to persist in the near term, given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the low turnout.

Tech View :: Nifty may hit 22,600 if it surpasses this level

The bulls propelled the index higher following a positive trading session. However, the index closed just below the lower band of the rising channel. The Nifty managed to close above the crucial level of 22,200; nonetheless, it needs to return within the channel to sustain momentum in the upcoming days.

In the near term, a decisive move above 22,250 could propel the index towards the higher level of 22,600 in the short term. Conversely, a failure to maintain levels above 22,200 might trigger selling pressure in the market.
