Nifty Prediction Today: Bullish Trend Ahead
Bajaj Broking highlighted that the Nifty formed a bullish candlestick pattern ahead of an important global event, marking a higher high and lower low while closing above the past three days’ high which is “a clear sign that bulls are in control.” Over the past seven sessions, the index has been moving within a broad range of 25,700-26,100.
Analysts at Bajaj Broking note that a sustained close above this range could trigger an upward move towards previous all-time highs near 26,500. On the downside, immediate support lies around 25,700, which aligns with the breakout zone, followed by 25,540, corresponding to the 21-day EMA. Bajaj Broking suggests that any pullback to these support levels is likely to attract fresh buying.
