Nifty appears to have entered a consolidation phase with immediate support around 24,900-24,800 and resistance at 25,200-25,300. Traders should adopt a buy-on-dip, sell-on-rise strategy while focusing on stock-specific moves for better opportunities. Global market recovery, after last week’s selloff, also plays a vital role in guiding our market’s direction, so it’s essential to track developments there closely.
