Pre-Market Expert's View: Nifty Weekly Expiry In Focus; To Get Support at 25,200–25,150

"Nifty index is now at a pivotal juncture, navigating a key support zone of 25,000–25,200, where buyers are expected to defend aggressively. On the upside, 25,400–25,500 remains the near-term hurdle. A strong close above this band could unlock an advance toward 25,700–26,000, while failure to clear it may invite a brief pullback." 
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money
"As expiry unfolds, all eyes remain on the 25,100–25,150 zone, which is acting as near-term support. If the index manages to hold above these levels, it could provide near-term relief, while a breach may open the door to sharper swings and intensified market jitters, potentially paving the way for a retest of the psychologically important 25,000 mark — a level that could offer buy-on-dip opportunities if supported by strong volumes."
