Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: 24,040-24,050 will act as immediate resistance for Nifty

Nifty opened on a bullish tone, experienced strong buying interest throughout the day, and closed on a positive note near 23,907 levels. The volatility index India Vix rose by 0.67 per cent to 16.10, indicating an increase in market volatility.

 

Technically, index on a daily scale has formed a large green candle, indicating strength. Furthermore, the index crossed the 23,800 barrier and closed above it, confirming strength. However, the index is still placed below 21-Days exponential moving average (DEMA), which is placed near 24,040.

Thus, 24,040-24,050 will act as immediate resistance for the index, while 23,800 will act as immediate support for the index. If index manages to sustain above 24,050 then rally could extend towards 24,200-24,300 levels. Thus, in the short-term, buy on dips approach should be adopted.

Positive momentum was also observed in global markets, due to modest decline in Japan's October inflation and 39 trillion yen stimulus package. Moderation in global and domestic political drama provided a relief to the domestic market.
