Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the NIFTY 50 tape (25,044.65, +0.06%), structural momentum favors the bid side after a clean MSS at 23,175.25, keeping the session anchored around the 24,058.42 50% Equilibrium level. Footprint mapping highlights institutional demand resting at the 22,372.00–22,742.20 +OB zone, with the next major -OB supply barrier located at 26,155.10–26,340.00. An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (24,579.90–24,838.75) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Pre-Market Gameplan: Look for continuation toward the 25,691.26 liquidity target as long as price holds above the 24,685.43 structural invalidation level.
