Market Performances

Indian equity markets ended on a mixed-to-weak note on November 18, 2025, as volatility persisted throughout the session. The Sensex declined 277.93 points, or 0.33%, to close at 84,673.02, while the Nifty slipped 103.40 points, or 0.40%, to end at 25,910.05.

Reflecting on today's market performance, Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking, said: "Broader markets underperformed, with the Nifty Small cap index falling 1% and the Nifty Midcap index easing 0.6% after hitting a fresh record high of 61,220.25 earlier in the day, reflecting heightened profit-taking pressure in mid- and small-cap segments."

She adds, "The Nifty displayed notable intraday swings and formed a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern after repeated rejection near the 26,000 mark, indicating a loss of upward momentum and the possibility of short-term consolidation. Immediate resistance is now placed at 26,000, followed by 26,050, while the 25,750–25,800 zone is expected to provide strong support and serve as an accumulation area for positional traders.

Sectorally, all indices ended in the red, with IT, metal, and realty declining around 1% each, signaling broad-based weakness."
