🧩 Our View for Monday’s Trade

Nifty’s struggle to hold above 26,000 points to short-term fatigue after its recent rally.

👉 Short-term traders can adopt a buy-on-dips strategy near 25,550, keeping a stop-loss below 25,350.
👉 Positional traders are advised to stay light, manage risk, and wait for clear confirmation of strength above 26,107.
Volatility is expected to increase in the coming week, making discipline and risk management crucial.
