Nifty View

 

The Nifty’s attempt at a follow-up rally failed, as the index fell 97 points to close at 24487. After an initial rise in the first hour of trade to 24702, the Nifty reversed direction and fell over 200 points from its high, settling near the day’s low. The 24340 level, where recent swing lows were registered, continues to be the support for the Nifty. On the upside, today’s high of 24702 will now act as a short-term resistance level.
