After the formation of series of lower tops and bottoms on the daily chart in last month, Nifty seems to have formed a new higher bottom on Monday at 23555 levels. This market action indicates significant reversal of trend on the upside. The huge opening upside gap of 8th April remains partially filled after five sessions of its formation. This is positive indication.

The underlying short-term trend of Nifty continues to be positive. On the way up further, Nifty could find overhead hurdles around 24500 and 24800 levels in the near term. However, immediate support is placed at 24000-23900 levels.
