Bullish chart patterns like higher highs and lows for the NSE Nifty 50 are intact on the daily chart and any dip can be a buying opportunity, according to analysts.

"Short-term trend of the Nifty remains positive," Nandish Shah, senior derivative and technical research analyst at HDFC Securities Ltd., said, highlighting the Nifty's continued upward journey for the fourth session in a row on Wednesday. "A decisive move above 24,500 is likely to open the next upside of around 24,900 in the near term. The immediate support is at 24,300."

The market will closely monitor comments from US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and US jobs data, which is due on Thursday, according to Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.

The market analyst expects the Nifty to continue its gradual uptrend, driven by positive government policies and a potential liquidity boost from the RBI's upcoming policy decisions.

In the derivatives market, open-interest data reveals strong resistance at the 24,500 and 24,600 levels, with the highest call OI observed at these strikes, according to Mandar Bhojane, research analyst at Choice Broking Pvt.

The 24,300 strike has the highest put OI, indicating strong support. A clear breakout above 24,500 can lead to further gains in the upcoming sessions, he added.

The Bank Nifty has exhibited a strong bullish candle, indicating continued buying interest from lower levels. A breakout above its daily high can pave the way for further upward momentum, with the immediate support at 53,000 and 52,800, and resistance at 53,400 and 53,800, Bhojane said.
