Nifty broke out of the congestion zone, reclaiming the 22,800 zone on a closing basis, Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical Analyst at Angel One said, commenting on the day’s action.”It was a rewarding session for traders as the market witnessed broad-based buying. Notably, Nifty has convincingly closed above the 20 DEMA after a prolonged period, while surpassing the 22,650–22,700 zone, which had acted as resistance over the past three weeks. This breakout confirms the formation of a structural bottom for the near term,” Bhosale said.He anticipates Nifty to retest the psychological 23,000 mark, which aligns with the 50 DEMA and the dynamic trendline resistance formed by connecting major tops from all-time highs.
“While this level appears within reach, this technical parameter has previously acted as a strong hurdle, and a breakout beyond it could drive an extended move towards the 200 DSMA at 23,400 and beyond. On the downside, the previous resistance zone of 22,650–22,700 can now serve as immediate support,” this analyst said.
