Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Structural Tape Read
Institutional structure on NIFTY 50 remains upward-biased at 25,299.35 (+0.18%); recent MSS at 23,175.25 displacement confirms buyers are absorbing supply inside the Premium regime (24,058.42 midpoint). 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 (25,084.05–25,142.95) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Session Follow-Up: Intraday price action respected the bullish structure; holding above 24,947.69 keeps the expansion path open toward 25,932.33 into the next session.
