He further added, “The index’s recovery may encounter resistance in the 22150-22200 zone, and only a decisive move above 22200 could trigger a stronger rally in the market. On the lower end, support is situated at 21950.”
On Monday, Indian benchmark indices rebounded from earlier losses, with most sectoral indices trading in the green except for Auto, PSU Bank, Oil & Gas, Consumer Durables, and Media. Notable gainers included Pharma, Healthcare, and Metal indices.
“Globally, stocks approached record highs as investors awaited key data releases, including U.S. inflation figures and Chinese activity data.
