Minor support- $41500. Any break below will take it to the next level at $40000/$34950.
Bull case-
Primary supply zone -$43500. Any surge past this level confirms an intraday bullishness. A jump to $45000/$46180/$49050 is possible.
Secondary barrier- $50000. A close above that barrier targets $52500/$60000.
It is good to buy on dips around $41400 with SL around $39000 for TP of $50000.
