Stock Market Outlook
Parekh said, “Nifty has regained strength after a brief pause and reached a new high of 24,300. We expect it to continue rising with targets of 24,500 and 24,900. The 24,000 zone is near-term support, while 23,700 is a major support level. Falling below 23,700 could weaken the trend.”

Parekh mentioned that the Nifty has immediate support at 24,150 and resistance at 24,400. The Bank Nifty’s daily range is expected to be 52,600 to 53,700.
