Experts Offer Divergent Views on Nifty's Near-Term Market Outlook

The Nifty index showed mixed signals recently, with Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Direct highlighting a strong intraday recovery and a buy-on-dips trend supported by key support levels around 23,100-23,200 and potential upside to 24,400 by mid-2026. Conversely, Rohit Srivastava of Strike Money Analytics views the recent two-day bounce as a counter-trend move amid ongoing weakness, particularly in financials, cautioning that the index may test lower support near 23,350 and possibly fall below 23,000 before any sustained recovery.
