## Nifty Constituents Supporting Uptrend
Recent momentum (past week, EMA and price action) shows the following sectors and stocks providing relative strength:
### Leading Sectors for Upside (Next 45 Days)
- **Automobiles**: Auto sector led the recent rally, leading gains.
- **Private Banks**: Banking stocks showed green closes and were stable.
- **Consumer/FMCG**: Maintains strong price action; staple stocks act as defensive plays.
- **Selective Energy Stocks**: Some refineries and oil companies are holding support.
- **Shortlist of Uptrend-supporting Stocks** (selection):
- Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors (Auto)
- ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank (Private Financials)
- Hindustan Unilever, Nestle India (FMCG)
- Reliance Industries (Energy)
- Larsen & Toubro (Infra)
IT sector and some PSU banks are lagging or witnessing profit taking, not contributing to leadership for this uptrend window.
## Summary & Positioning
- **Target (downside):** If pattern confirms, expectation is a fall towards 23,620–23,250.
- **Support:** 24,420–24,337 (key), 24,200 (minor).
- **Resistance:** 24,700, 24,800, major at 25,000–25,200.
- **Stocks/sectors to watch for uptrend:** Auto, Private Banks, FMCG, select Energy and Infra stocks.
- **Sector weightages:** Financials lead, followed by IT and Energy. Stock selection should focus on leaders in high-weightage sectors.
The short-term trend is **cautiously bullish** if support holds, but any break below neckline risks a much deeper correction in Nifty 50
The key support and resistance levels for Nifty currently are:
- **Major Support:** 24,420–24,337
- **Minor Support:** 24,300–24,200
- **Immediate Resistance:** 24,700 and 24,800
- **Major Resistance:** 25,000–25,200
If Nifty remains above 24,337, uptrend continuation is possible; a sustained move above 25,000–25,200 would confirm renewed bullish momentum. If Nifty breaches below 24,337, expect further downside towards 23,620 as the next major support area.

## Current Nifty Support Levels
- **24,337 (critical neckline; below this, head and shoulders pattern triggers further selling)**
- **24,420 (first major floor)**
- **24,200 (minor intraday support zone)**
## Resistance Levels
- **24,700 and 24,800 (short-term ceiling)**
- **25,000–25,200 (right shoulder zone and main breakout threshold)**
**Trading near these zones suggests increased volatility. A close above 25,200 would invalidate the head and shoulder bearish setup; below 24,337 confirms downside risk for the index.
