Kotak's Shrikant Chouhan anticipates range-bound movement in Nifty and Sensex, projecting support at 25,200/82,000 and resistance near 25,600/83,200. Traders should note restrictions on selling cash-bought stocks pre- and post-Budget. The market showed selective sector strength Friday amid cautious pre-Budget positioning and external challenges.
