Market Recap:
The Nifty 50 index continued its consolidation phase on Tuesday, closing marginally higher by 0.04% at 23,668.65. Meanwhile, the Bank Nifty slipped 0.19% to end at 51,607.95. While IT stocks gained, Realty, Oil & Gas, and Metal sectors witnessed a downturn. The broader market indices also faced pressure, declining between 1.2% and 1.8%.

Nifty 50 Trade Setup for Wednesday

  • The 23,600 level remains a critical support zone for the Nifty 50 index.
  • If Nifty holds above this level, an upward move towards 23,850–23,900 is possible.
  • A breakdown below 23,600 could weaken market sentiment.

For Bank Nifty, maintaining above 50,980 suggests a “buy on dips” strategy. However, 52,000 will act as a strong resistance level.

Global Market Trends

The domestic market remained resilient, marking its seventh consecutive session of gains. Analysts attribute this strength to foreign institutional inflows, a stable Indian Rupee, and positive cues from the US market.
