Pre-Market Research Briefing: NIFTY at 24,536.60 (+2.40%) — Bullish Order Flow & Key Order Blocks
Research Desk Pre-Market Briefing — India Session Gameplan
Indian derivatives desks are pricing in a constructive bullish tone ahead of the bell — our model concurs. Across the 4 instruments on our desk radar today, 4 hold bullish structure while 0 trade under bearish distribution. Benchmark bellwether NIFTY opens the session near 24,536.60 (+2.40%) inside the Premium Zone, while BANKNIFTY (+3.33%) and NIFTY (+2.40%) mark the widest overnight dispersion across the board.
Desk Gameplan for Today's Session: Rather than reacting to opening-bell noise, our focus is on how price behaves when it tests the unmitigated Bullish Order Blocks (+OB) and Bearish Supply Walls (-OB) mapped on each card below. Currently, 1 of 4 assets sit below their 50% Equilibrium baseline (Discount pricing), where institutional buyers historically step in to defend structure once a lower-timeframe Change of Character (CHoCH) confirms.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Institutional structure on NIFTY 50 remains upward-biased at 24,536.60 (+2.40%); recent MSS at 23,175.25 displacement confirms buyers are absorbing supply inside the Premium regime (24,058.42 midpoint). Pullbacks into the 22,372.00–22,742.20 Bullish Order Block are being monitored for absorption, while 24,659.25–24,989.35 marks the overhead liquidity ceiling. An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (23,810.85–24,296.30) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Pre-Market Gameplan: Look for continuation toward the 24,822.43 liquidity target as long as price holds above the 24,116.26 structural invalidation level.
