“We believe the short-term market outlook remains positive; however, a fresh bullish trend is possible only after crossing 24,850/81000 levels. Above this, the market may move towards 25,000/81500. On the downside, 24,650/80500 and 24,700/80700 are key support zones for day traders. If the index drops below 24,580/80300, then uptrend may weaken,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
