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
