Nifty exhibited significant strength, securing a notable breakout on the daily chart as it surpassed the key resistance level of 21,800.

Nifty opened gap-up and traded with a positive bias throughout the day to close with gains of ~260 points. On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has decisively broken out of the 21,500 – 21,850 range on the upside. The breakout suggests a resumption of trending moves on the upside. We expect the index to target levels of 22,000 immediately and above that 22,300. On the downside, the zone of 21,750 – 21,700 shall act as an immediate support as per the role reversal principle.
