Pre-market action: Here's the trade setup for today's session

Indian equity markets are seeing a bearish undertone in response to the deepening military conflict across the Middle East, which pushed crude oil prices markedly higher. Analysts say a decisive break below 24,600 could trigger another leg toward 24,400. Conversely, a sustained move above 25,200 on a closing basis is required to neutralize the immediate downside bias and signal stabilization. STATE OF THE MARKETS Tech View: Key support is placed at 24,600; a decisive break below this level could extend the decline towards 24,200. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at 25,000 and a break above the same will attract a short covering towards 25200 levels. India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, rose 25% to settle at 17.13 levels.
