The Nifty 50 corrected sharply intraday but recouped all its losses in the second half from the 25,450 (day’s low) zone and closed with half a percent gains on November 11. The index climbed above its 25,670 resistance as well as the short-term moving averages and the midline of the Bollinger Band, signaling a positive trend. If the index sustains above this level and decisively clears the 25,800 hurdle, 26,000 is the level to watch in the upcoming sessions. However, on the lower side, 25,500–25,450 is expected to act as immediate support, according to experts.
