Nifty At Risk Of Deeper Correction Below 25,900? | Opening Bell Live
Nifty 50 failed to sustain above the key psychological 26,000 mark and closed 0.64% lower on December 16. The index was unable to register a decisive close above its falling resistance trendline and ended the session below short-term moving averages, highlighting continued weakness among bulls and the persistence of a lower high–lower low formation. Experts say as long as the index remains below 26,100, consolidation is likely to continue, with immediate support seen around the 25,750 zone. However, a convincing move above 26,100 could open the door for a rebound toward the 26,200–26,300 levels. In stocks to watch today, gas companies will be in focus after the PNGRB notified a uniform natural gas tariff structure.
