However, a breakout above 24,800, accompanied by high volumes, may open the path to 24,950–25,000."Hariprasad K, Research Analyst & Founder, Livelong Wealth
"The index is consolidating in the 24,700–24,800 zone, with a descending resistance trendline from recent highs at 24,885. Immediate support is seen at 24,750, with a strong downside cushion at the 200-day EMA of 24,631. On the upside, a breakout above 24,900 could open the path toward 25,000 and beyond, provided momentum builds on the back of FII inflows and a supportive monsoon outlook, though muted earnings growth remains a headwind."Ponmudi R, CEO, Enrich Money,
