Nifty broke below its 23,800–24,500 consolidation range, signalling near-term weakness, with resistance now seen at 23,800–24,000 and key support at 23,150, according to analysts. Market breadth stayed negative as Sensex fell sharply, dragged by RIL, SBI and M&M. Broader indices saw mixed activity across stocks, with selective buying interest but overall sentiment tilted towards bears amid volatility.
