Nifty continues its upward momentum following a consolidation breakout on the daily chart. The trend remains robust as it has sustained itself both above the psychological level of 22,000 and the 21EMA on the daily timeframe. On the higher end, it may move towards 22,400/22,600 once the index decisively surpasses the 22,200 mark. Support on the lower end is identified at 22,000.

The daily bullish candle confirms the strong outlook while the hourly chart, with higher highs and higher lows, suggests that the primary trend remains strong. The next rally would likely attempt to reach the 22,300-22,350 zone. However, the India VIX, the fear gauge, ended higher and closed at a 16.07 level.
