Nifty slides for the fifth straight session, closes at lowest level since 29 July Nifty declined for the fifth consecutive session, losing 78 points to close at 24,287 — its lowest level since 29 July. The index opened 23 points lower and selling pressure persisted through the first two hours, dragging it to an intraday low of 24,226. From these lows, Nifty recovered more than 130 points but ultimately ended the day with a loss of 0.32%. A fall of over 50 points during the Closing Auction Session (CAS) amplified the final decline. Following Friday’s sharp fall, NSE cash-market turnover rose 2% compared with the previous session, pointing to continued subdued participation. Among Nifty 50 constituents, Hindalco, Tata Steel and HDFC Life were the leading gainers. On the other hand, HCL Tech, Infosys, and Sun Pharma were the major laggards. Sectoral performance was mixed. Realty, Metal and Media ended as the key outperformers, while IT, FMCG and Pharma fell the most. The broader market, along with the benchmark indices, recovered sharply from the morning lows and ended with marginal gains. Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 0.05% and 0.36%, respectively. Market breadth remained weak, with the advance–decline ratio at 0.90, indicating continued profit booking. The Indian rupee weakened by 17 paise to close at 95.60 per dollar, hitting two-week lows as the Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly shortened the deadline for its discounted forex swap facility for non-resident deposits, raising concerns over future dollar inflows. The short-term trend for Nifty remains weak, with the index trading below its 5 and 11 day EMAs. Immediate support is placed around 24,200, near its 50 day EMA. On the upside, 24,430 and 24,600 are likely to act as key resistance zones. HSL Prime Research

India's headline index has been stuck in a stubborn range even as the domestic growth narrative has remained intact and corporate #India has kept posting earnings. The reason isn't a mystery - it's valuation math meeting currency stress. But both of those headwinds are now easing, and that combination sets up the case for a genuine breakout.

Nifty Slips for Fourth Session Amid Weak Broader Markets Nifty declined for the fourth consecutive session, losing 29 points to close at 24,366. The session remained muted, with the index moving within a narrow 100-point range throughout the day. A modest recovery of around 10 points during the Closing Auction Session (CAS) helped limit the final decline. Nifty ended the week 0.83% lower. NSE cash-market turnover declined by 6% compared with the previous session, indicating continued subdued participation. Among Nifty 50 constituents, Apollo Hospitals, Bharti Airtel and Adani Enterprises were the leading gainers. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Jio Financial Services and ONGC were the major laggards. Except for Media and Consumer Durables, all sectoral indices closed in the red. Financial Services, Pharma and Metal were the biggest underperformers. The broader market remained relatively weak, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 declining by 0.53% and 0.69%, respectively. Market breadth on the BSE deteriorated, with the advance–decline ratio falling to 0.84, indicating increased profit booking. The Indian rupee remained under pressure, with the dollar–rupee pair trading in the 95.40–95.45 range. Persistent dollar demand weighed on the local currency, which closed near ₹95.43 against the US dollar and extended its recent depreciating trend. Nifty formed a Doji candlestick pattern on the daily chart, indicating indecision after the recent correction from the highs. The index closed near its 20-day DEMA at 24,363 and 200-day DEMA at 24,385, making the 24,360–24,385 zone crucial for the near-term trend. The immediate support remains at 24,265, followed by the psychological level of 24,000. On the upside, 24,630 and 24,750 are likely to act as key resistance zones. A sustained close below the 200-day DEMA could weaken the technical setup, while a move above 24,630 would improve short-term sentiment. HSL Prime Research
