The 24,200 level continues to be the immediate hurdle for the Nifty 50 index, and a sustained move above it could pave the way towards 24,350–24,500. On the downside, 24,000, which coincides with the 20-day moving average, remains a crucial support. A decisive breach below this level may accelerate weakness towards 23,900–23,800. Going ahead, developments around crude oil prices and the Strait of Hormuz situation will remain the key drivers of near-term market direction.
