Nifty levels to watch

 A sustained 15-minute close above 26,277 can trigger fresh upside momentum toward 26,350–26,500, with a possible extension toward 27,000 in the short term, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said. “On the downside, immediate support is placed at 26,100-26,000, while a stronger safety zone lies near 25,850 in case of a sharper pullback. Momentum indicators remain supportive.”
