The bearish sentiment continued on Dalal Street with the Sensex falling more than 400 points intraday on July 22.

Benchmark indices closed at a two-month low. Sensex was down 305.88 points at 38,031.13 while the Nifty50 fell 73.10 points to 11,346.20 but held 200-day exponential moving average (11,297) and formed bearish candle on daily scale. If the index breaks 200-DEMA, then there could be more selling pressure, experts said.
