Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd, said, “Nifty closed above its crucial 20-day moving average (DMA) at 22,300, hinting at a potential bullish trend. This positive momentum could push the index towards 22,525 and even 22,750 levels.” “On the downside, 22,300 will act as the immediate support level, followed by a 100-DMA of 22050. It’s important to note that the market may experience volatility in both directions” he added.
