ATR 194.50 Expected price movement range

RSI (14) 30.00 Momentum: below 30 oversold, above 70 overbought

ADX (14) 29.90 Trend strength: above 25 indicates a stronger trend

How to read this: RSI measures momentum; 30–70 is generally neutral. ADX measures trend strength, not direction; below 20 is weak and above 25 is stronger. Price above both EMAs supports a bullish structure, while price below both supports a bearish structure.

If–then playbook

Bullish trigger

Sustain above 24,500.00 with supportive volume and OI before bullish continuation trades.

Bearish trigger

A sustained move below 22,000.00 weakens the structure and brings downside protection into focus.

Overnight equity indices and crude oil provide external context before the Indian session.
