Below the Quote on Daily Market Analysis by Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.

The markets traded within a narrow range and ended nearly unchanged, pausing after Wednesday's gains. After an initial rise, the Nifty fluctuated throughout the day and settled near its lowest point at 24,306.55. Sector-wise, there was a mixed trend with pharmaceuticals, IT, and automotive sectors seeing moderate gains, while FMCG and metals remained subdued. The broader indices performed better than the benchmark, each gaining about half a percent.

The Nifty has approached its immediate target of 24,500 and appears slightly overextended. It would be prudent to take some profits and wait for a potential dip before considering new long positions in the index. Meanwhile, the broader market strength and specific sectoral buying opportunities suggest that traders should focus more on stock selection and utilize dip/consolidation to add quality names.
