• Nifty Outlook: Nifty has remained range-bound over the last five trading sessions, oscillating between 23,800 and 24,300. The 23,950–24,000 zone, coinciding with the 20- and 50-day EMAs, continues to provide strong support. A decisive breakout from the 23,800–24,300 range is likely to trigger the next directional move. On the upside, a sustained move above 24,300 could pave the way for 24,500–24,600, while 23,800 remains the key support on the downside. Until then, the market is expected to remain largely stock-specific.
- CNX Nifty Realty Index (915): The index has rallied sharply from 650 to 940 over the past three months and is now approaching a key weekly channel resistance at 940–950. A phase of consolidation or profit booking is possible near current levels. However, a decisive breakout above this resistance could open the door for a move towards the previous all-time high of 1,150.

• XPRO (₹1,393): After rallying to ₹1,573, the stock has entered a healthy profit-booking phase. The ₹1,380–1,330 zone is a crucial support area; holding above this range would keep the broader weekly uptrend intact and improve the chances of a reversal in momentum.
