The markets traded positively for the fourth consecutive session, gaining over half a percent, continuing the current uptrend. After a flat start, the Nifty edged higher amid volatility and crossed the new milestone of 24,000. Most sectors aligned with this movement, with IT and energy among the top gainers.

Meanwhile, broader indices showed mixed results, as midcap stocks closed in the green while smallcap stocks lost over half a percent.

The rotational buying across key sectors is contributing to the index's steady rise, and we expect this trend to continue. Following the banking sector, we anticipate that IT and FMCG will play crucial roles in maintaining the positive momentum.

With the Nifty crossing the 24,000 mark, we see potential for it to test 24,500, with support around the 23,600 level. Participants should align their positions accordingly and look for buying opportunities on dips.

COMMENT :: Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities

We are of the view that the larger texture of the market is bullish but due to temporary overbought conditions; however, there could be some profit booking at higher levels. For the Nifty, 23920/78600 would act as a key support zone, while 24150 -24200/79400-79600 could be the immediate resistance zone for the bulls.

COMMENT :: Shilpa Rout, AVP - Derivatives Research, Prabhudas Lilladher

NIFTY saw overall gains of 6% in the June F&O series. The option chain indicates that 24,000 call writers are very active for the July series monthly expiry, with weekly expiry focusing on the 24,000/25,000 strikes.

Put writers for the monthly expiry show support at the 23,000 strike, while the weekly expiry indicates immediate support at the 23,500 strike. Therefore, the market outlook suggests buying on dips until the 23,600 level, aiming for extended targets up to 24,300
