"Nifty found support near its 50 days SMA and bounced back, which has raised hopes for the bulls to regain their momentum. Considering the evident strength across the broader markets, it appears that today's recovery is likely to be sustained. Long should be protected with the stoploss of 25000 in Nifty. On the higher side, 25331 could offer short term resistance to Nifty," said Nandish Shah - Deputy Vice President, HDFC Securities.
