Nifty Support And Resistance Tomorrow (Weekly Expiry)
Nifty witnessed sharp breakout of consolidation movement on Monday and closed the day with hefty gains. Looking ahead to the scheduled weekly expiry, Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking, said that the Nifty may face resistance in the 26,200–26,300 zone, which coincides with the record-high zone.
Traders may look for buying opportunities on dips toward the 25,950–26,050 support zone, Ajit said.
Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking, said that the Nifty's price action shows that buyers are willingness to defend elevated levels rather than engage in aggressive profit-booking. Nifty has immediate resistance in the range of 26,300 to 26,350, while key supports are seen in the zone of 26,000–26,050.
"As long as the index maintains levels above 26,000, a selective buy-on-dips strategy remains favorable, with strict stop-loss discipline," the market expert said.
On the daily chart, Nifty has formed a long bull candle with gap up opening. According to Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, this market action indicates a decisive breakout of crucial hurdle and triangle pattern around 26000.
"This is positive indication and this reflects market's significant change in trend on the upside. Next upside levels to be watched around 26300-26400 levels in the near-term. Immediate support is placed at 26000," the analyst said.
Nandish Shah, Deputy Vice President, HDFC Securities, said that Nifty has formed a bullish higher-top, higher-bottom structure on the daily chart by closing above the key resistance level of 26058.
"Nifty could now extend its rise towards the next resistance levels, placed at 26,202 and 26,330. On the downside, the level of 26,000 is expected to act as a near-term support," he said.
Nifty's derivatives data indicates aggressive Call writing at 26,200 strike, while strong Put open interest at 26,100.
Amruta said that a sustained close above 26,200 will be essential to extend bullish momentum, while failure to decisively cross this level may result in continued consolidation in the coming sessions.
