Rajesh Palviya, Head-Technical Research, Axis Securities, says put writers are aggressive at 24,000 strike as well as 23,800 strike, and so these are the important levels on the downside to hold the market. If it holds the 24,000 level in the coming week, then this rally can extend higher, and the possible target for Nifty can be 24,400 also very soon. For Bank Nifty, 52,000 is the immediate support area based on the put concentration. The two levels – 52,000 as well as 51,800 – attracted more put writing in Friday's session also.

Are you penciling in some kind of slowdown next week? What are the levels you are watching out for when it comes to the benchmarks?
