rnYesterday, Nifty briefly opened in the green but turned negative in the opening hour. It continued to trend lower and closed near the day's low. Volume was lower than the previous session, which helped the index avoid a distribution day. Broader indices performed better than benchmark indices.
rnOn the sectoral front, barring Nifty Realty (+1.0%) and PSU Bank (+0.7%), all other indices closed in the red. Nifty Metal closed more than 3% lower. Nifty Auto, Bank, Financial Service, FMCG, and IT closed 0.2–1.0% lower. The advance-decline ratio was in favor of decliners. Of the 2,259 stocks traded, 937 advanced, 972 declined, and the rest remained unchanged.
rnNifty recently retook its 50-DMA, which is a positive sign. We would like the index to hold its 50-DMA and trade above that. Without trying to predict and decode stories, we will take what the market gives and continue to monitor unfolding conditions. If the index falls further, adds a distribution day, and breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Continue to trim or avoid ideas lagging and/or breaking down below major moving averages.
