Tech View
The Nifty remained extremely flat as market participants are closely watching for any updates on the US-India deal, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that an indecisive candle has formed on the daily chart, indicating continued lackluster sentiment in the absence of a clear outcome on Trump’s tariffs.
“On the lower end, support is placed at 25,400. A fall below this level might trigger short-term selling pressure. Below 25,400, additional support is seen at 25,250 and 25,100. On the higher end, resistance is placed at 25,500. A decisive move above this level could push the Nifty towards 25,800,” said De.
