Nifty Technical Analysis

Based on the supplied TradingView chart:

Immediate Resistance: 24,270–24,300
Major Upside Trigger: 24,300
Immediate Support: 24,180
Day Low: 24,144
Major Psychological Support: 24,000

The chart’s ADX reading of approximately 13 suggests a weak-trend environment. MACD is showing negative momentum, while Stochastic RSI is in the lower zone.

Therefore, the market currently appears more suitable for level-based trading rather than directional assumptions.

Tomorrow’s Market Outlook

If Nifty sustains above 24,300, the index could attempt a recovery toward higher levels.

If Nifty remains between 24,144 and 24,300, a range-bound and volatile session is possible.

A decisive break below 24,144 could increase selling pressure and bring 24,000 into focus.

Capital Cents View:
The immediate battle is between 24,144 support and 24,300 resistance. Confirmation around these levels should be more important than trying to predict the market in advance.
