The GIFT Nifty price of 23,720.5 is currently hovering just above the Pivot Point of 23,700. Failure to hold the S1 level of 23,611 may lead to a deeper test of the S2 support at 23,507.

Technical Outlook

GIFT Nifty displayed an intraday high of 23,789 and a low of 23,596, resulting in a range spread of 193 points. The current price of 23,720.5 sits within the lower half of the previous session’s Nifty 50 range.

The sentiment appears bearish as the domestic index faces a projected gap of 455.65 points amid a surge in the India VIX to 18.55. This setup indicates that selling pressure may persist at the open.
