Watch | Rahul Sharma's make-or-break level for the Nifty is still 1,000 points away

JM Financial’s Rahul Sharma said the Nifty remains in a narrow market phase where a limited number of stocks are supporting the index, similar to the trend seen in 2017–18. He said the index has immediate support at 24,000, while 23,500 is the key “make-or-break” level for the current market structure. Sharma believes any correction could offer buying opportunities in quality stocks, highlighting public sector banks, PSUs and select large-cap names such as Larsen & Toubro, State Bank of India and Titan.
