India VIX was up by 3.49% from 11.31 to 11.71 levels. Volatility slightly spiked and created momentum for indices to cheer at lifetime high zones.

Here’s what analysts said:Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan Considering the sharp runup, there can be consolidation. However, the overall trend is positive, and in case a dip occurs it should be bought into. On the upside, the short-term target is placed at 19,900.

In terms of levels, 19,630 – 19,580 shall act as a crucial support zone, while 19,880 – 19,900 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone.Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel OneConsidering the overall bullish sentiment, coupled with overbought conditions, similar subdued trading days might persist. In this scenario, the recommended approach would be to concentrate on intraday dips and be a miser about locking in small profits at higher levels. Immediate support is seen in the zone of 19680 – 19600, with stronger support expected around 19,500.
