Sensex, Nifty Today: Gift Nifty, an early indicator for the Nifty 50, indicated a negative start as it opened with a dip of 68 points at 26,211.50, compared to the previous close of 26,279.50.
In early trade, 1,286 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 1,019 were trading in the red. One hundred thirteen stocks remained unchanged.
“We believe the intraday market formation remains weak, but fresh selling is possible only after a breach of the 26,100/84800 level. Below this level, the market could slide towards 26,000-25,950/84500-84350. On the other hand, 26,250/85300 would be an immediate resistance zone for bulls. Above this, the market can bounce back to 26,350-26,380/85500-85700,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
