The benchmark indices saw strong gains, with the Nifty rising 1.72 per cent, or 392.70 points, to close at 23,306.45. The Sensex also advanced 1.63 per cent, or 1,205 points, to settle at 75,273.45. Going ahead, 23,300–23,350 remains a critical zone. Sustaining above this range could provide short-term stability, while failure to hold may invite renewed selling pressure, a market expert stated. On the upside, 23,500–23,600 continues to act as a strong supply zone, followed by 23,800.
On the downside, 23,000 remains a crucial support backed by strong demand and OI build-up, with 22,900 as the next support in case of weakness, an analyst added. Analysts said that the market rally was driven by hopes of easing geopolitical tensions and softer oil prices, which boosted investor confidence across sectors.
