Market Outlook
Nifty is likely to consolidate in the 23,000-23,550 range in coming sessions, with key support at 23,200-23,000 and resistance at 23,750-23,800. A breach below 23,000 could open downside towards 22,600.
For Mumbai investors, the market’s ability to hold above 23,200 remains critical amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and FII outflows.
