Can Nifty Reclaim 25,400 After Strong Comeback; Infosys, Axis, Eternal In Focus|Opening Bell Live
Bulls staged a strong comeback, driving the Nifty 50 higher by 0.71% on October 15, after a couple of days of consolidation. The rally has now taken the index close to the falling resistance trendline. The continuation of the higher high–higher low formation and healthy momentum indicators suggest that the index is gradually inching toward 24,400–24,500, the September swing high. Beyond that, 25,670 remains the crucial hurdle to watch, a breakout above could open the door to fresh record highs. On the downside, 25,150 is expected to act as immediate support, followed by 25,050, which forms the key support zone, according to experts.
