On Thursday, after rising for 14 consecutive days, the Indian stock market ended lower for the second day in a row. The Nifty 50 index lost 53 points, closing at 25,145, and the BSE Sensex dropped by 151 points, ending at 82,201. However, the Bank Nifty index gained 72 points, closing at 51,473.

What to Expect Today
Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “The Nifty 50’s short-term trend remains weak and could fall further to 25,000-24,900 before bouncing back. Key resistance is at 25,300.”
Dhupesh Dhameja, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities, shared his outlook for the Bank Nifty index: “Bank Nifty opened with a gap-up of 144 points but traded in a narrow range. The index ended almost flat, down 0.14%, at 51,473. The index is in an upward-sloping channel with strong support at 51,300, while resistance at 51,500 is creating a tight range.”
He added that India’s VIX, a measure of market volatility, decreased by 1.88% to 14.20, which is still above last week’s high, suggesting some volatility but still manageable for market bulls.
