The NIFTY 50 opened at 26,143.10, touched a low of 26,067.90, hit a high of 26,187.15, and closed at 26,140.75, down 37.95 points (-0.14%). The market closed lower for a third straight session as earnings caution, FII selling, and trade uncertainty weighed on banking and auto stocks. Technically, the market witnessed support at the 20D EMA and bounced back to close near the day’s open. The doji candle is likely indicative of indecision amongst market participants ahead of the earnings season. The RSI slipped to 55, indicating moderating bullish momentum. Near-term support levels are at 25,991/25,897, and resistance levels are at 26,296/26,391.
