Intraday buying surged above 24,340 during late-session short covering before settling cleanly above the crucial 24,300 psychological milestone.
🎯 Key Target Levels & Trade Targets
- Overhead Resistance Targets: 24,350 – 24,380 (Immediate breakout barrier). A sustained 15-minute candle close above 24,380 opens doors toward the major structural target of 24,480 – 24,500.

- Downside Demand Floor: 24,200 – 24,220 (Key intraday pullback buy zone) | 24,100 (Major weekly trend support).
🌍 2. Global & Domestic Cues
- US Federal Reserve Signal: Global markets consolidated after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while signaling cooling labor market pressures, maintaining investor expectations of a potential rate cut later in H2.
- Oil & Volatility Dynamics: Brent Crude held steady around ~$87–$88/bbl, preventing runaway import inflation for India. India VIX remains subdued around 12.6–12.8, pointing toward orderly market moves rather than sharp panic selloffs.
- Foreign Institutional Flows (FIIs): Secondary market participation from institutional investors is stabilizing near key 24,200–24,300 support bands, with cash-market selling abating.
