Nifty also breached the critical 20-EMA support level, previously holding firm over the past two sessions, suggesting potential further weakness in the short term. While Nifty remains range-bound with 21,500 serving as strong support, today's struggles in the broader markets indicate a likelihood of breaking these levels, potentially opening the path downwards towards 21,350 — 21,250 in the upcoming sessions.
