Indian Benchmarks Rebound, Face Key Technical Levels Ahead
India’s main stock market indexes rose on Friday after falling for four sessions.
The Sensex went up more than 362 points, while the Nifty increased by about 24 points.
However, both indexes fell back from their highest levels of the day.
Analysts are watching 23,800 as an important safety level for the Nifty.
If the Nifty drops below that level, it could fall toward 23,600.
The Nifty also needs to move above 24,000 to 24,200 to show a stronger recovery.
For the Sensex, 78,000 is an important level it must cross.
High oil prices, world tensions and foreign investors selling shares are making traders cautious.
The Sensex gained 362.57 points, or 0.48%, to close at 76,515.43 on Friday.
The Nifty rose 24.25 points, or 0.10%, to settle at 23,897.70, ending a four-session losing streak.
Analysts identify 23,800 as immediate Nifty support and 24,000–24,200 as resistance.
The Sensex faces resistance at 77,000–77,500, with 78,000 seen as a stronger hurdle.
Higher crude prices, geopolitical tensions, uncertain interest-rate outlooks and foreign investor selling continue to pressure markets.
