Nifty prediction today – Dec 17, 2024: More fall is on the cards. Go short 

Nifty 50 December futures (24,490)

Nifty 50 is trading lower. It is down 0.90 per cent and is currently trading at 24,446. The advances/declines ratio is at 7:43. This is clearly negative. It leaves the danger high to see more fall during the day.

Nifty outlook

Nifty has declined well below the key support level of 24,500. This is a negative. Intraday support is at 24,400. A break below this support will increase the danger of seeing a steeper fall to 24,200 in the coming sessions.

In case Nifty manages to bounce from around 24,400, a rise to 24,500 is possible. The price action around 24,400 will need a close watch.
