EDITOR’S TAKE 

• Stunning rally in Dow; Wall Street in high spirits 
• Fed rate cut prospects boost Dow
• Nasdaq tumbles owing to profit-taking in IT stocks
• Dalal Street at life high, very strong technically
• Mixed trends from FIIs & DIIs
• Continue with 'buy on dips' strategy till Budget
• Till Budget:
  • Very strong support for Nifty at 24,150-24,325; 25,000 looks easy for Nifty before 2025
  • Consolidation to continue in Nifty Bank till it gives up 52,000 or crosses 53,000 on a closing basis
  • Midcap & smallcap stocks to continue to enjoy buying interest
  • Minor profit-taking possible at higher levels ahead of Budget
  • Wild swings may worsen
  • Investors most likely to undertake at least some profit-taking at decent levels​
