In the near term, the index is likely to remain strong, with the potential to advance towards the 24,800 level. Immediate support is placed at 24,200, and a decisive breach below this level could trigger a phase of consolidation.

There are both near-term headwinds and tailwinds for the market. The biggest headwind is Brent crude rising above $90 amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran. If the rally sustains, India's vulnerability to an energy shock could resurface, with adverse implications for the rupee and foreign portfolio investment flows. On the positive side, the unwinding of the AI trade continues in markets such as the US, South Korea and Taiwan.
