💡 Trader’s Strategy Tip
- The “24,000” Battle: The market is poised for a test of 24,000. If we open flat/positive and hold above 23,900 for the first hour, we could see a steady climb toward 24,050–24,100.
- Sensex Expiry: Since it is the BSE Sensex weekly expiry, expect higher volatility in the mid-session. Keep trailing stops tight if you are playing momentum.
