The Nifty index gave the highest ever close on all time frames and ended the June series on a higher note. It formed a strong bullish candle on the weekly as well as the monthly frame and has been forming higher highs and higher lows for the last eight months. Now it has to continue to hold above 24,000 levels to extend the move towards 24,400 and 24,500 zones, whereas supports are placed at 23,800 then 23,700 zones. Comparatively lower volatility is comforting the bulls to drive the index to higher zones. Option data suggests a broader trading range between 23,600 to 24,500 zones for the Nifty 50, while an immediate trading range is expected to be between 23,750 to 24,250 levels.

On a daily scale, the Nifty has been holding well above its all EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) support level for 15 sessions in a row; the support has been rising with the trend. The immediate support level is placed at 23,723, below which the index may see a change in trend, while upside momentum is expected to continue towards 24,000-24,150.
