Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Nifty has edged closer to its previous swing low of 23,800

The markets remained under pressure, shedding over a percent, extending the ongoing correction phase. Despite an initial uptick, Nifty witnessed sharp swings in the first half before selling pressure in heavyweight stocks shifted the momentum downward. Most sectors, including auto, FMCG, and metal, faced losses in line with the benchmark indices. Broader indices were not spared either, losing nearly 1.5 per cent each.
 
Nifty has now edged closer to its previous swing low i.e.  around 23,800, with banking heavyweights leading the decline and dampening hopes of a recovery once again. Current signals suggest a potential test of the long-term moving average at the 200 DEMA level, around 23,540. Participants should adjust their positions accordingly and prioritize selective stock picking.
