The Nifty 50 index is walking a tightrope today. Prices are hovering close to a critical level that could decide the next move. Traders are keeping their eyes on the chart to see if this level will hold or crack.
Price Action Right Now
The index is trading around 24,350.85, only a step above the previous day’s low at 24,339.50. That’s the line in the sand for bulls. Break it, and sellers could get bolder. Hold it, and there might be a chance for a bounce.
The previous day’s high at 24,586.65 is far above the current price. Until the market climbs back toward that zone, buyers will find it tough to build momentum.
Signals from Moving Averages
Two moving averages are in play — the 9 EMA at 24,421.74 and the 15 EMA at 24,456.60. The shorter one is sitting under the longer one, which is a bearish alignment. Price is below both, showing that sellers have the upper hand for now.
Where the Floor Might Be
The first level to watch is the previous day’s low at 24,339.50. If that breaks, the next pit stops could be:
- 24,280 – 24,260
- 24,200 – 24,180
- 24,040 – 24,000
That last zone is a big psychological level where buyers have stepped in before.
Hurdles on the Way Up
If Nifty can hold above the current support, the path upward won’t be easy. Resistance starts at the 9 EMA (24,421.74). Then comes the 15 EMA (24,456.60). Above that is the 24,500 – 24,520 range. The real test would be a push through the previous day’s high at 24,586.65. Clearing that could open the way to 24,640 – 24,660.
Two Possible Roads Ahead
If sellers win and push the index under 24,339.50 with volume, we could see a slide toward 24,280 or 24,200 quickly.
If buyers fight back and price crosses both moving averages, there’s a chance for a recovery rally. That could target 24,500 first, then the 24,586 area.
Market Mood
Recent candles show lower highs and lower lows — a classic sign of short-term weakness. Any bounce here should be taken with caution until the market shows strength above key resistance zones. For now, sellers still have the advantage.
The Takeaway
Nifty is sitting at a make-or-break spot. If the support holds, there’s room for a rebound. If it cracks, the slide may deepen. Traders should be ready for both possibilities and adjust quickly as the market shows its hand.
