Sensex Prediction

Sensex took support near 76,500 and registered some recovery. The market is currently witnessing non-directional activity.

A small red candle was formed on the daily chart with a long lower shadow, indicating broader sideways range movement around 24,300 - 23,800 levels.

Bank Nifty Prediction
