On today's market, Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd noted that the markets remained under pressure, shedding over a percent, extending the ongoing correction phase. "Despite an initial uptick, Nifty witnessed sharp swings in the first half before selling pressure in heavyweight stocks shifted the momentum downward," he said.
Mishra added that Nifty has now edged closer to its previous swing low of around 23,800, with banking heavyweights leading the decline and dampening hopes of a recovery once again. "Current signals suggest a potential test of the long-term moving average at the 200 DEMA level, around 23,540. Participants should adjust their positions accordingly and prioritise selective stock picking," he said.
