Indian benchmark indices ended in the red on the weekly expiry day dragged by selling pressure in bank, auto and FMCG stocks. Nifty settled at 24,548.70, declining by 93.10 points or 0.38%. Meanwhile, the 30-stock S&P BSE Sensex finished flat at 81,289.96, falling by 236 points or 0.29%.
Commenting on the day’s action, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said that he sees a weakening trend in the near term with the Nifty slipping below the recent consolidation on the daily chart. “However, the decline was limited, and the index managed to stay above 24,500. This sideways consolidation in Nifty may persist for a few more days as the index remains within a defined range. A decisive fall below 24,470 could trigger a meaningful correction in the market. On the higher side, resistance is seen at 24,650-24,700,” De said.
