The NSE Nifty 50, which rose over 2% on Tuesday, could face resistance at around the 23,500 levels, according to analysts.

"If the index continues its upward momentum, it may encounter resistance in the 23,440 to 23,500 range, while strong support is expected at 23,050," according to Aditya Gaggar Director of Progressive Shares.

In addition, on daily charts, the market is holding uptrend continuation formation, which supports a further uptrend from the current levels, said Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities. The analyst is of the view that the current market texture is bullish. "Due to temporary overbought conditions, we could see some profit booking at higher levels," he said.

"For traders, 23,400 and 23,500 would act as key resistance areas, while 23,200 to 23,135 could serve as crucial support zones. However, below 23,135, the uptrend would be vulnerable," Chouhan added.

For Bank Nifty, after strong gains, 52,000 remains an immediate support zone on the downside, while 52,500 acts as a near-term resistance zone, as per Satish Chandra Aluri from Lemonn Markets Desk.
