Indian Markets Seen Opening Higher Amid Mixed Asian Cues
Indian shares ended higher on Monday after falling recently.
The Sensex and Nifty both gained, helped by more positive signals from global markets and easing worries about oil supplies.
A market indicator called GIFT Nifty suggested Indian shares might start Tuesday higher.
But analysts said the markets still need to cross important levels to show a stronger recovery.
They pointed to support levels where prices might find buyers and resistance levels where gains could stall.
US markets also finished higher, with technology-related shares helping lead gains.
In Asia, Japan and Taiwan were higher early Tuesday, while South Korea’s Kospi was slightly lower.
These different signals mean markets could still move up or down.
GIFT Nifty near 22,663 indicated a positive opening for Indian markets on Tuesday, October 6.
On Monday, the Sensex rose 472.77 points to 72,382.47, while the Nifty gained 133.80 points to 22,555.75.
Analysts identified 71,800–72,000 as key Sensex support and 72,600–73,000 as a possible retest zone.
For the Nifty, analysts cited support at 22,400 and resistance near 22,600.
US stocks finished higher Monday, while Asian markets were mixed early Tuesday: Japan and Taiwan rose, South Korea’s Kospi slipped.

Potential recovery
Risks and resistance
Sensex direction
Potential recovery
Holding above 71,800–72,000 could sustain a recovery and allow a retest of 72,600–73,000.
Risks and resistance
The broader structure remains sideways until a decisive breakout; rejection near resistance or a break below 71,800 could bring renewed selling.
Nifty direction
Potential recovery
A sustained move above 22,600 could provide short-term relief.
Risks and resistance
Sentiment remains weak, and a decisive fall below 22,400 could restart the bearish move.
