The Indian stock market, including major indices like Sensex and Nifty 50, is expected to open higher on Monday. This is due to positive signals from global markets. The Gift Nifty, a market indicator, is also showing signs of a higher start, with a 115-point premium compared to the previous Nifty futures closing.
On Friday, the Indian stock market showed slight gains, with the Nifty 50 staying above the 24,300 level. The Sensex increased by 259.75 points (0.32%) to end at 80,501.99, while Nifty 50 gained 12.50 points (0.05%) to close at 24,346.70.

Nifty 50 Expectations
Looking at the Nifty 50, the market is showing signs of caution. Data from Nifty options suggests mixed signals. On one hand, there is strong resistance at the 24,500 level, with many traders betting against a rise above this level. On the other hand, the 24,000 mark is showing good support, with many traders positioning themselves to protect against a fall below that.
Experts believe that Nifty 50 could face resistance at 24,500-24,600. If it breaks above this range, it could rise towards 24,800-25,000. But if the market weakens, the support levels are seen around 24,000-23,800. Investors are advised to buy on dips but be cautious due to the possibility of volatility.

Technical experts also point to certain signs of strength, with Nifty 50 trading above important moving averages, showing that the market could continue its upward trend. However, resistance is expected at 24,600, and a move above this could take the index towards 25,000.
Bank Nifty Expectations
The Bank Nifty index, which tracks the performance of major banks, closed with a slight gain on Friday. It is expected to continue consolidating, with the range seen between 54,000 and 56,000. A breakout above 56,000 could push the index towards new highs in the coming weeks.
For the immediate future, key support levels are seen between 54,000 and 53,500. If the Bank Nifty drops below 54,450, there could be more selling pressure, but it may also continue trading within the current range.
