India Market Outlook
Market in Previous Session:
Headline indices Nifty and Sensex sustained their upward momentum for a seventh straight session, ending on a strong note as risk-on sentiment dominated the street. The up-move was fueled by sectoral leadership from IT, auto, and pharma pockets. Meanwhile, Nifty Bank, which had been the frontrunner in the recent rally, saw a bout of profit-taking, dragging the index into the red amidst rotational churn.
At close, the Sensex was up 520.90 points or 0.65 percent at 80,116.49, and the Nifty was up 161.70 points or 0.67 percent at 24,328.95.

TRADE SETUP FOR APR 24
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a small bearish candle with a long lower shadow which maintained higher high and higher low, marking its seventh consecutive session of gains highlighting continuation of the positive bias.
Index trends remain firmly positive, and we expect Nifty to head towards 24,550 and then towards December 2024 high of 24,850 in the upcoming weeks.
Only a breach below Wednesday low (24120) will signal a pause in the current up trend. A breach below Wednesday low can lead some consolidation in the range of 24,350-23,800.
The major support is placed at 23,800 levels. Index sustaining above the same will keep the short-term bias positive. Dips should be viewed as buying opportunities. Stock specific action will continue to remain in focus as we progress through the Q4 earnings season.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,410 followed by 24,500 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,120, followed by 24,040.
