The NSE Nifty fell 3.30 points or 0.01 per cent to close at 24,320.55
Benchmark equity indices settled on a flat note on Monday amid lacklustre trading activity as investors preferred to stay on the sidelines in the absence of any fresh trigger. Weak cues from Asian markets also contributed to the muted trend in the domestic market.
The BSE Sensex fell 36.22 points or 0.05 per cent to settle at 79,960.38. The NSE Nifty dipped 3.30 points or 0.01 per cent to close at 24,320.55.
"The Nifty remained range-bound during the day, as market participants appeared to be in no hurry to decide the market's direction. Support remains at 24,240, and a fall below this level might weaken the strength of the bulls. Until then, dips might be bought into. On the higher end, resistance is seen at 24,375-24,400. Above 24,400, the index might move towards 24,600," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
