Nifty managed to close above the crucial level of 22,200. Nonetheless, it needs to return within the channel to sustain momentum in the upcoming days. In the near term, a decisive move above 22,250 could propel the index towards the higher level of 22,600 in the short term. Conversely, a failure to maintain levels above 22,200 might trigger selling pressure in the market.

On the daily chart, we can observe that the Nifty has witnessed follow-through buying interest from the previous trading session, which is a bullish sign. The up move is likely to continue till 22,308 – 22,423, which is the 50% and 61.82% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous fall. On the downside, 22,040 – 22,000 is a crucial support from a short term perspective.
