Market Outlook & Expert Analysis

Kunal Kamble, Senior Technical Research Analyst, Bonanza:

"The Nifty Index has been forming lower highs and lower lows, signaling a bearish trend. If Nifty falls below 22,700, it could test 22,500 and 22,200 levels."

Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities:

“A break of 22,707 could give a strong push to bears, with downside targets at 22,500 and 22,370. To recover, Nifty needs to cross 23,100 for short-covering to trigger.” FII & DII Trading Data

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs): Net sellers of ₹3,449.15 crore.
Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs): Net buyers of ₹2,884.61 crore.
