The Nifty 50 closed at 22,622.70, while the Sensex settled at 72,781.89. Banking stocks also remained under pressure, although gains in IT and FMCG shares helped limit the broader market decline.
Market participants will monitor the Nifty’s ability to stay above 22,600, along with Bank Nifty’s support near 55,200. Corporate earnings, weekly derivatives expiry and global market developments could influence intraday volatility.

Nifty 50 Outlook
The Nifty 50 is approaching a key technical zone around 22,600. Sustaining above this level could help the index attempt a recovery towards 22,700 and 22,800. However, a decisive move below 22,500 would weaken the short-term outlook.
Sensex Outlook
For the Sensex, traders will monitor 72,600 and 72,500 as immediate support zones. On the upside, 72,800 and 73,000 are the levels to watch. Weekly expiry could add to price swings during the session.
Bank Nifty Outlook
Bank Nifty needs to defend 55,200 to maintain near-term stability. Support below that level is seen around 55,000, while resistance lies near 55,500 and 56,000. The contrasting performance of private and public sector banks suggests that banking-sector momentum remains uneven.
