Key statistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the previous session FIIs bought about \u20b92\u202f450\u00a0crore and DIIs bought around \u20b91\u202f120\u00a0crore, but flows on 21\u00a0Nov were muted as caution prevailed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    What moved the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Profit\u2011booking at record highs:<\/strong> After hitting fresh highs earlier in the week, the Nifty and Sensex failed to sustain momentum. Traders booked profits across most sectors, especially metals and financials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Weak global cues:<\/strong> U.S. markets had sold off sharply ahead of Nvidia\u2019s earnings and after inconclusive U.S. jobs data, leading to renewed doubts about a December Fed rate cut. European indices were at one\u2011month lows and the Hang\u00a0Seng tech index dropped significantly, triggering risk\u2011off sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Surging volatility:<\/strong> India\u00a0VIX jumped more than 10% to about\u00a013.4 as traders hedged portfolios. The spike in volatility and weakness on Bank\u00a0Nifty charts signalled caution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Rupee depreciation:<\/strong> The rupee slid to a fresh record low around \u20b989.40 per USD, increasing concerns over imported inflation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sector\u2011specific pressures:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Metals:<\/strong> Extension of quality\u2011control exemptions on certain steel grades stoked fears of import competition, while the Hindalco plant fire added supply risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • IT:<\/strong> Despite strong global tech earnings, stretched valuations in Indian IT stocks triggered selling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Financials and realty:<\/strong> Concerns about delays in India\u2013U.S. trade talks and soft manufacturing PMI data reduced risk appetite, hurting lenders and realty names.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Global cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • United States:<\/strong> Wall\u00a0Street benchmarks declined for a fourth straight session as traders awaited Nvidia\u2019s earnings. The run\u2011up to the results raised concerns that the AI\u2011driven rally could be overdone. U.S. Treasury yields slipped slightly and gold reversed earlier losses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Europe:<\/strong> The STOXX\u00a0600 closed at a one\u2011month low amid profit\u2011taking in technology names and caution ahead of central\u2011bank meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Asia:<\/strong> Asian markets were mixed; the Hang\u00a0Seng tech index slumped, while Japan\u2019s Nikkei pulled back after strong gains. The sell\u2011off in U.S. tech weighed on Asian sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Commodities:<\/strong> Brent crude traded around $60\u201362\/bbl, while gold firmed above $2\u202f650\/oz amid safe\u2011haven demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Outlook for the next trading day (Monday, 24\u202fNov 2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Technical levels:<\/strong> The Nifty\u00a050 closed below its breakout zone of 26\u202f100 and could consolidate further.\n
                \n
              • Resistance:<\/strong> Immediate resistance lies at 26\u202f250<\/strong> (Thursday\u2019s high); a decisive break above could open the path toward 26\u202f500<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Support:<\/strong> Immediate support is around 26\u202f000\u201325\u202f900<\/strong>, with stronger support at 25\u202f800\u201325\u202f700<\/strong>. As long as the index holds above 26\u202f000, the overall uptrend remains intact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Momentum indicators:<\/strong> RSI around 62<\/strong> and a positive MACD histogram still favour buyers, but a spike in volatility and a bearish candle with a long upper shadow on 21\u00a0Nov signal that traders might choose to consolidate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Bank\u00a0Nifty:<\/strong> Charts point to caution; support is near 58\u202f700\u201358\u202f500<\/strong>, while resistance lies around 59\u202f200\u201359\u202f400<\/strong>. The index will need a close above 59\u202f200<\/strong> to regain momentum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Expected tone:<\/strong> Markets may open flat to slightly positive, with global tech sentiment and Nvidia\u2019s earnings guiding direction. Cautious consolidation is likely as traders monitor U.S. data and the rupee. Defensive FMCG and auto stocks may continue to attract buying on dips, while metals and realty could underperform until global cues improve. The overall trend remains bullish, but volatility may persist; traders should use dips to accumulate quality stocks and maintain stop\u2011losses near key support levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
