Experts say that the markets had become overstretched after a sharp rally. Due to ongoing geopolitical risks, investors have started booking profits.
Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical Analyst at Angel One, mentioned that the 23,900–23,800 zone is a strong support area. If markets fall below this level, there could be a deeper correction toward 23,500–23,300. On the higher side, resistance is expected between 24,250–24,350.
He also warned traders that the market's next move might not be as smooth as the recent rally and advised careful monitoring of key levels.
