"Nifty index took a halt around its price resistance of 26100 spot levels and showing signs of a short term congestion/consolidation in 25,700-26,100 spot zone. Overall chart structure is positive till Nifty is holding above 25,300 spot levels on closing basis."Vipin Kumar, Assistant Vice President, Technical and Derivatives Research at Globe Capital Market Ltd
"We believe the 20-day SMA (simple moving average) around 25,800/84,500 and 25700/84200 would act as key support zones for traders. As long as the market trades above these levels, the positive trend is likely to continue. On the higher side, 26,000/85,000 will be the immediate resistance zone for bulls. A breakout above 26,000/85,000 could take the market towards 26,100-26,125/85,300-85,500."Shrikant Chouhan, Head, Equity Research, Kotak Securities
