Nifty’s 22,200 defence may open the door to 23,600, says Geojit’s Anand James
A defence development with market-wide reach.
· Economic Times Markets
Nifty’s sharp rebound after defending the 22,200–22,000 support zone could extend towards 23,600, according to Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Investments. However, the index must first post a sustained close above 22,800 to confirm that Friday’s recovery marks more than a relief rally, he said.
The analysis
Defence orders carry long execution tails and policy tailwinds, which the market values for their visibility.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
