Talking about the day’s performance, Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Financial Services said, “The market is turning to a consolidation phase due to the absence of major triggers to support the current premium valuation in the near term, prompting investors to book some profits. The earnings season is around the corner, and the initial expectation is subdued. With stable input prices and ongoing price cuts, the period of margin expansion appears to be concluding, which is likely to affect earnings and valuations.”
Rupak De, senior technical analyst, LKP Securities said, “The Nifty remained range-bound during the day, as market participants appeared to be in no hurry to decide the market’s direction. Support remains at 24,240, and a fall below this level might weaken the strength of the bulls. Until then, dips might be bought into. On the higher end, resistance is seen at 24,375-24,400. Above 24,400, the index might move towards 24,600.”
