A Winning Streak Comes to an End
Indian equity benchmarks ended lower on Tuesday, with the Nifty breaking its four-session gaining streak as selling pressure in information technology and financial stocks outweighed gains in select metal, media and realty shares.
Closing Numbers
The Sensex declined 329.91 points, or 0.44 per cent, to settle at 74,529.08, while the Nifty fell 85.30 points, or 0.36 per cent, to close at 23,329.00. The decline marked the end of the Nifty's four-day winning streak, as investors booked profits in some of the market's heavyweight sectors following the recent run-up.
Nifty's Technical Outlook
Commenting on the Nifty's technical outlook, experts said that immediate resistance remains at 23,400-23,500. "On the downside, 23,300 remains the immediate support, followed by 23,200. A decisive break below 23,300 could intensify selling pressure and expose the index to the 23,200 zone," market watchers stated, framing Tuesday's close right at a level that will require close monitoring in the sessions ahead.
