Immediate resistance is placed at 25,850, followed by higher levels at 25,900 and 26,000. On the downside, support levels are seen at 25,600 and 25,650, which may act as potential accumulation zones for positional traders."
Meanwhile, the India VIX, the volatility index, climbed 4.22% to 12.66, indicating heightened market volatility amid prevailing uncertainty. Overall, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, with traders awaiting a decisive close above 25,800 to confirm a continuation of bullish momentum.
