Market Outlook:

• Kotak Securities' Head of Equity Research, Shrikant Chouhan, noted that the 50-day SMA or 81,200 and the 81,000 level will act as key support zones for the Sensex. As long as the Sensex trades above these levels, the bullish sentiment is likely to continue. On the higher side, the index could move up to 81,700 - 82,000. If the Sensex falls below 81,000, traders may consider exiting their long positions.
• Mayank Jain, Market Analyst at Share.Market, believes that the Sensex faces immediate resistance in the 82,000 – 82,200 range, and a sustained move above this range could pave the way for further gains. Key support lies at 81,000 - 80,800, and a break below this zone could pull the index lower.
