Nifty Sensex Outlook: What the Charts Are Signalling

Chouhan noted that after a muted opening, the market traded comfortably above the 20-day simple moving average through the session, a setup he described as broadly positive. A bullish candle on the daily chart, paired with an uptrend continuation pattern on intraday charts, points to a reasonable chance of further upside from current levels.

Index Support Zone Resistance Zone
Nifty 50 24,200 24,450-24,500
Sensex 77,500 78,300-78,500

Key Levels for Trend-Following Traders

Check the Univest Screener for live sector data

For trend-following traders, the 24,200/77,500 zone now acts as the key support for the Nifty Sensex outlook. As long as the indices hold above this band, the uptrend wave is likely to continue. On the higher side, the rally could extend towards 24,450-24,500 on the Nifty and 78,300-78,500 on the Sensex, according to Kotak Securities.

On the flip side, a break below 24,200/77,500 would make the uptrend vulnerable, and traders may prefer to exit long positions if that support gives way.

Sector Moves Shaping the Nifty Sensex Outlook

Auto stocks led sectoral gains, rallying over 1.76%, supported by strong earnings from names such as Maruti Suzuki and other four-wheeler makers. Realty was the weakest sector, shedding close to 2% as profit booking set in after a recent run-up.

Conclusion

The Nifty Sensex outlook stays constructive as long as the 24,200/77,500 support zone holds, with Kotak Securities pointing to 24,450-78,500 as the next resistance band to watch. A sustained break below support would be the first signal that the near-term uptrend is losing steam, while a hold above it keeps the path open for a move towards the upper end of the range.
