Markets witnessed a volatile session on Monday and ended almost unchanged amid mixed global cues. Technically, analysts say the Nifty continues to witness buying interest on declines near the 24,000 mark, indicating that the broader undertone remains positive despite heightened volatility. However, the index is still facing resistance in the 24,300–24,400 zone, and a decisive breakout above this band is required to extend the ongoing recovery towards the 24,600 mark and beyond.
