Nifty opened firm and pushed to the session high in the first half — the bulls had their moment. Then, right on schedule, the sellers showed up. The index gave back the gains through the second half and closed at 24,072.
Five sessions now. Same range, same tug of war, same close-but-no-break. The market is coiling — and coiled markets don't stay coiled forever.
We don't predict which way it breaks. That's not the job. The job is watching the lines already drawn: 24,244 is where the bulls need a closing print to reclaim the story. 23,666 is where the bears need a closing print to take it. Everything in between is just noise dressed up as conviction.
Five days of consolidation. One side blinks first. We watch, we don't guess.
