Market analysts
Analysts commenting on the Nifty’s technical outlook.
“The rebound can extend if the Nifty closes above 22,600 with broader participation and Bank Nifty crosses 55,175. Failure to clear these levels, especially alongside renewed strength in crude or a hawkish RBI outcome, could bring selling pressure back into the market.”
