All Eyes on 25,000: Key Levels & Strategy for the Week Ahead
Technical Overview
Nifty & Sensex Analysis:
- Technically, on the weekly chart, the market has formed a bullish candle, and on the daily chart, it has formed a higher bottom.
- It is currently trading above the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) – broadly positive.
- Last Friday, the market not only crossed the 24,900/81,800 resistance level but also managed to close above it.
Key Support and Resistance Levels:

Nifty | 24,850 / 24,700 | 25,250 → 25,400 - 25,500 |
Sensex | 81,600 / 81,100 | 82,700 → 83,300 - 83,600 |
- The bullish sentiment is likely to continue as long as the market sustains above the mentioned support levels.
- If the market rejects 24,700/81,100, it may re-test 24,500/80,500.
