Nifty has formed a Doji candle on the daily chart, reflecting a state of indecision as a battle between the bulls and the bears unfolds. Downside support is apparent in the 19,000-18,900 range, with visible fresh put writing for the upcoming weekly expiry.
Immediate resistance is situated at the 19,200 level, and a breakthrough at this point could trigger fresh short covering, potentially propelling the index towards 19,300-19,350.
