Nifty continues to remain in a broader consolidation phase despite maintaining its upward bias. The Bajaj Broking Research said the index has formed a high-wave candlestick on the weekly chart, reflecting volatility during the week but also indicating that buyers continue to defend lower levels.

The Nifty has repeatedly found support around the 23,800 mark over the past four weeks, making it an important level for the current trend.

"Broader market to extend outperformance with Nifty midcap 100 already at an all-time high, we expect Nifty small cap index also to rally to a fresh all-time high, The Index has immediate support at 23,800 levels being almost identical lows of the last 4 weeks," noted Bajaj Broking Research.

The brokerage expects the Nifty to remain within the 23,800-24,350 range in the near term. A sustained move above 24,350 could strengthen bullish momentum and push the index towards 24,600, followed by 24,800 over the coming weeks.

However, if geopolitical tensions intensify and the index falls below 23,800, selling pressure could increase, dragging the Nifty towards the 23,600-23,400 zone.

Bank Nifty also ended last week on a positive note, extending its recovery for a second consecutive session as banking stocks witnessed fresh buying interest. According to Bajaj Broking Research, the banking index is expected to consolidate in the 56,500-58,700 range in the near term.

The brokerage said, "A weakness below Wednesday's low 56,550 will open downside towards the key short-term support of 55,500-55,000 levels. On the higher side only a move above 58,700 being the last swing high will signal resumption of the up-move towards 59,200 and 60,000 level in the coming weeks, being the 138.2% and 150% external retracement of the previous decline from 57,456 to 52,783."
