Markets turned volatile on Monday with broader indices likes midcap and small cap index continued to plunge lower with losses of more than 2% while Nifty ended on a flat note mainly on back of rebound in Bank Nifty. With Nifty breaching Friday’s low of 18034, selling intensified across the board with advance decline ratio standing at 3:17 by the closing. With lower low after weekly bearish setup in Nifty 500 & MIDSML 400 Index, any rebound is unlikely to sustain and we expect a sharp fall in Nifty 50 on close below 18034. We can expect bull’s dominance to come under threat when Nifty surrenders below 18034 as selling pressure is mainly contributed by Non-Financial segment which was main driver for recovery since April 2021. Results today: Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finance, ABB India, Cipla, Ambuja Cements.
