102
Based on the charts and the market's performance on Wednesday, October 15, the Sensex experienced a strong bullish continuation and is positioned to re-challenge the recent high.

Detailed Market Structure Breakdown

4-Hour Chart (Macro Trend)

Structure: The Sensex has confirmed a strong bullish trend resumption, breaking out of the corrective descending channel that formed last week. The price is now trading within a clear ascending channel and has closed right below the immediate overhead supply.

Key Levels:

Major Supply (Resistance): 82,700 - 82,900. This area is the critical hurdle, aligning with the upper channel trendline and the recent swing high. A decisive breakout here is needed to target 83,000 and beyond.

Major Demand (Support): 82,000 - 82,200. This area, which includes the lower trendline of the ascending channel and the psychological 82,000 mark, is the must-hold zone for the continuation of the rally.

Outlook: The short-term bias is strongly bullish. The market is poised to challenge the 82,700 - 82,900 resistance band.

1-Hour Chart (Intermediate View)

Structure: The 1H chart shows a clear Break of Structure (BOS) on the upside, as the price broke the resistance trendline and the immediate swing high. The index is strongly in an ascending channel, confirming buyer conviction.

Immediate Resistance: 82,800.

Immediate Support: 82,300 (Recent swing low/consolidation zone).

15-Minute Chart (Intraday View)

Structure: The 15M chart confirms the strong bullish momentum. The market has closed right at the 82,600 level, after successfully defending the 82,000 support. It is currently consolidating in a small bullish flag pattern at the top of the channel.

Key Levels:
