🧭 CapitalKeeper View – What to Expect
📌 Despite a positive opening, markets face tough overhead resistance.
📌 Nifty needs a close above 25,250 and Bank Nifty above 57,200+ to change short-term bearish outlook to bullish.
📌 Volatility is likely to rise in the second half as traders assess breakout confirmation.
💡 Trade Tip from CapitalKeeper:
“Let the price confirm the breakout before building large positions. Rangebound trading can trigger whipsaws — stick to level-based setups with discipline.”
