🧠 CapitalKeeper’s View
Markets have opened higher but are facing immediate resistance zones that could limit the upside unless bulls break through with strength.
📉 A close below 25,000 in Nifty or 56,400 in Bank Nifty could trigger fresh selling pressure.
📝 Pro Tip: Don’t chase rallies — wait for confirmations. Avoid aggressive longs until we see a strong close above resistance levels.
