Technical Outlook

The GIFT Nifty has traded within a 77-point range between a high of 24,327.5 and a low of 24,250.5 during the current session. The LTP of 24,275 sitting in the lower half of this range indicates bearish intraday momentum.

Given the significant drop in Asian peers like the KOSPI (-1.25%) and Hang Seng (-1.23%), the domestic sentiment appears tilted to the downside for the opening hour.
