Nifty 50 Eyes 24,800 as Markets Log Second Weekly Gain Ahead of Bank Earnings

The Nifty 50 index has recorded its second consecutive weekly gain, rising about 1.3 percent amid easing crude oil prices and optimism over US-Iran talks following the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. The index closed near 24,353, facing resistance around 24,400-24,450. Analysts suggest a potential rally toward 24,700-24,800 if it breaks this resistance, with support levels near 24,100-24,200. Market focus remains on upcoming Q4 earnings from HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank.
