Pre-Market Experts' View: Investors To Remain Cautious

"The index has witnessed bouts of selling as the Nifty failed to withstand the pressure around 26,000, leading to a decline towards 25,850. On the hourly timeframe, the index has slipped into a bearish zone following two back-to-back consolidation breakdowns. In addition, a bearish divergence is visible on the daily timeframe along with a bearish crossover. Sentiment may continue to remain weak, with the possibility of the index falling towards 25,700. On the higher end, resistance is placed at 26,000."
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
"Persistent outflows, caution ahead of US Fed meeting next month and uncertainty around progress on a potential U.S.–India trade deal is likely to keep traders guarded."
