“We believe that key support zones are at 25,850/84,500 and 25,800/84,300. Above these levels, the market could continue the bullish momentum until 26,000/85,100. Further upside may also continue, which could lift the market up to 26,100–26,150/85,400–85,500. However, below 25,800/84,300, the uptrend would become vulnerable,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
