“We believe that the intraday market structure is volatile and directionless; therefore, level-based trading would be an ideal strategy for day traders. On the upside, 26,000/84800 and 26,050/85000 will be key resistance areas, while 25,800/84200 could act as a crucial support zone for the bulls. A successful breakout above 26,050/85000 could propel the market towards 26,150–26,200/85300–85500, while below 25,800/84200, the market could retest 25,700–25,600/84000–83700 levels,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
