A fresh leg of bullishness starts above 25,000, while support is placed at 24,900. If the index falls below this level, it might correct down towards 24,750.”
“Positive global sentiment driven by expectations of an easing interest rate cycle by the FED and RBI in the medium term, owing to benign inflation, ignited the rally on Wednesday. As expected, the BoJ raised its interest rate while all eyes are on US FED policy,” other market experts said.
