Nifty 50 targets 25,200 with key support at 24,800 ahead of November 11 session

The Nifty 50 closed above the 25,000 level on November 9, gaining 0.23 percent after a period of consolidation. Market experts note that a rise toward 25,200 is possible in the upcoming session, and a decisive break above that could open the path to the 25,500 resistance zone and later the 25,900-26,000 area. On the downside, 24,800 is seen as the nearest key support level.

Technical indicators show the index trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with the RSI above 70 at 77.88, indicating strong momentum but also overbought conditions. The MACD remains on an upward trajectory, though its histogram has lost some steam after eight consecutive sessions of expansion.

For the Bank Nifty, the index rose 1.51 percent, breaking the 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement of its recent correction. The level at 59,741 is highlighted, with resistance at 59,783, 59,987 and 60,317, and support at 59,124, 58,920 and 58,590. The RSI is at 75.41, and the MACD continues to climb.

Options data show the highest call open interest for the Nifty at the 25,500 strike (61.07 lakh contracts) and the highest put open interest at the 25,000 strike (53.19 lakh contracts). For the Bank Nifty, the top call open interest is at the 60,500 strike (9.13 lakh contracts) and the top put open interest at the 59,000 strike (7.22 lakh contracts).

The Nifty put-call ratio fell to 1.23 on November 9, suggesting a bullish sentiment, while the India VIX dropped 5.48 percent to 17.42, remaining in an elevated range. Market breadth data indicated long build-up in 76 stocks, short build-up in 62 stocks, and short-covering in 65 stocks.

Analysts caution that while the broader trend remains bullish, the market may experience near-term consolidation around the identified technical levels.
