Technically, on the daily chart, the index formed an insider bar candlestick near the short-term trend line support and previous demand zone. Thus, levels of 25,150-25,350 are possible as long as the index remains above the lows of 24,690. Investors should adopt “buy on dips” strategy in Nifty index for short term.

The Nifty has formed a bullish Harami pattern on the daily timeframe, indicating rising optimism. Furthermore, the index has moved above the crucial moving average on the hourly time frame. The RSI has formed a bullish crossover in the short-term, further supporting the positive outlook. In the near term, the index may move towards the 25,350-25,400 range. On the downside, support is placed at 24,850, and a break below this level could lead to weakness.
