Market Performance

Indian equity markets ended lower on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, as sustained selling pressure across key sectors dragged benchmarks sharply lower before a partial recovery in the latter half of the session. Weak sentiment and resistance near higher levels triggered broad-based profit booking, resulting in a negative close.

Hitesh Tailor, Research Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking, said, "The Nifty 50 opened at 25,641.80 and also marked its intraday high at 25,641.80, indicating immediate selling pressure from the opening tick. The index then witnessed a sharp decline, slipping to an intraday low of 24,327.60 amid heavy intraday volatility. However, recovery buying at lower levels helped the index trim losses and settle at 25,424.65, down 288.35 points (-1.12%) for the day. The close near the mid-range suggests partial stabilization after deep cuts. Technically, immediate support is placed at 25,250–25,300, which remains crucial for short-term stability. On the upside, 25,550–25,600 continues to act as a key resistance band; a decisive breakout above this zone is required to restore bullish momentum."

"Overall sentiment has turned cautious following the sharp intraday volatility. Traders are advised to remain disciplined and selective, as the index is trading close to crucial support levels. A decisive breakout above resistance or breakdown below support will likely determine the next directional move," he added.
