STATE OF THE MARKETS
- Tech View: A fall below 24,700 could trigger a market correction, potentially leading to a decline toward the 21-EMA, which is currently positioned around 24,428. Overall, sentiment is likely to remain sideways to bearish as long as the Nifty stays below 25,000. However, if the Nifty reclaims the 25,000 level, the sentiment may turn bullish, and short bets would lose their appeal.
- India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, rose 0.9% to settle at 17.55 levels.
