Markets kicked off the week on a strong note on Monday, with benchmark indices extending their gains amid easing crude oil prices, encouraging quarterly earnings, and sustained buying in financial heavyweights. Technically, analysts say the Nifty has strengthened its bullish structure by decisively surpassing the key resistance zone of 24,400, which coincides with the 200-day DEMA. This breakout reinforces the ongoing recovery and opens the door for a move towards the 25,000–25,200 zone in the near term.
