For now, 80,500 and 81,300 are the key levels, above which it could move towards 81,500-81,800. A dismissal of 80,500 could accelerate it towards 80,100-80,000
Range-Bound Activity

Mumbai: On Wednesday, the benchmark indices witnessed range-bound activity. The Sensex was up by 260 points. Among sectors, the Digital index gained 1.35 per cent, whereas selective financial stocks registered intraday profit booking at higher levels. Technically, after a muted open, the market witnessed some recovery from the lower levels. However, it is still trading below the 20-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) of 81300, which is largely negative. Shrikant Chouhan, Head - Equity Research, Kotak Securities, said: “We believe that the current market structure is non-directional, and the intraday formation indicating range-bound activity is likely to continue in the near future.”
For traders, the key levels to watch are 80,500 and 81,300. A move above the 20-day SMA or 81,300 could see the market rallying toward 81,500-81,800. Conversely, a dismissal of 80,500 could accelerate selling pressure, with the market potentially slipping to 80,100-80,000.
