Pre-Market Experts' View: Nifty Reflects Neutral-To-Bearish Bias
"The index reflects a neutral-to-bearish bias, raising the risk of a retest at 24,600, and potentially 24,150 near the 200-DMA, if weakness persists. While DIIs managed to offset FII outflows in the cash segment, derivative positions remained skewed towards the bearish side, amplifying downside pressure."Hariprasad K, Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth
"Markets remain under pressure as global uncertainty, FII selling, and weakness in heavyweights continue to weigh on sentiment. The Nifty’s break below 24,900 signals a fragile near-term trend, with 24,800 now acting as the immediate support. Unless the index reclaims 25,200 decisively, volatility may persist with a downward bias"Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst, Lemonn Markets Desk
