NIFTY50 consolidates with second doji, finds footing at 24,500

Markets extended the winning momentum to the third day in a row and ended yet another range-bound session in the green. The NIFTY50 index gained 0.1% and ended the session at 24,613, while the SENSEX closed the session flat at 80,716.

Sectorally, Realty (+1.6%), FMCG (+0.9%) and IT (+0.5%) advanced the most, while Media (-1.0%), Pharma (-0.4%) and PSU Banks (-0.2%) witnessed profit booking.

After forming a doji candlestick pattern on 16 July, the NIFTY50 closed above the indecision pattern, signalling strength. However, the index has once again formed a doji pattern, reflecting investor indecision ahead of the Union Budget announcement next week.

Currently, the index is consolidating around the 23,600 mark after the breakout on 12 July. Immediate support is around 24,450. As long as the index stays above this level, the trend may remain positive.
