Will Nifty Defend Key Levels Or Succumb To Profit Taking?| Opening Bell Live
The Nifty 50 staged a rebound, gaining nearly half a percent on January 27 after losing close to 1% in the previous session. The index climbed back above its 200-day EMA on healthy volumes during the monthly F&O expiry. However, despite the bounce, technical and momentum indicators continue to tilt in favour of the bears, with the rising VIX signalling caution. Market experts expect the Nifty to trade in a 24,900–25,500 range in the near term. A decisive break below 24,900 could drag the index towards 24,600, while a sustained move above 25,500 may pave the way for an upside towards the 25,600–25,750 zone. Catch Surabhi Upadhyaya in conversation with Ajit Mishra, SVP–Research at Religare Broking, and Gaurang H Shah, Senior Vice President at Geojit Financial Services, as they break down key Nifty levels and stocks to watch.
