Most market observers highlight that the short-term market texture is bullish but there could be we could see some profit booking at higher levels.

According to Amol Athawale, VP – Technical Research, Kotak Securities “In the near future, 23,100/75800 and the 50-day SMA or 23,000/75400 would act as key support zones, while 23,500-23,700/77400-78000 could be the key resistance areas for the bulls. However, if it falls below 23,000/75400, the sentiment could change, and traders may prefer to exit from their long positions.”

Immediate resistance is at 23,560, with support shifting higher to 23,200”
