Live: Will Nifty's downtrend continue to third session on expiry day? | Opening Bell

Nifty slipped below 26,000 amid profit booking as short-term sentiment turned fragile. The market opened firm but selling built through the day, with the index dropping 230 points from the intraday high. Broader markets weakened ahead of expiry, and while IT held up initially, late-session selling hit most sectors. SBI Life, TechM and Eicher showed some resilience, but realty, metals and durables led the declines. Midcap and smallcap indices remained under pressure, with the smallcap index slipping below its 200-day EMA. Nifty’s breakout attempt was also hurt by delays in the India-US trade agreement, leaving markets cautious ahead of the GDP data. This morning, global cues were positive. US markets edged higher overnight led by shares of Alphabet after Google upgraded its AI Model last week. Asian markets also cheered Wall Street's positive moves and edged higher this morning.
