NIFTY
* Nifty remained volatile on the weekly expiry day and ended nearly half a percent lower amid mixed cues.
* After a flat start, the Nifty index gradually drifted lower, and a mid-session rebound attempt failed to sustain.
* The sectoral trend remained mixed, with realty, metal, and pharma posting gains, while key sectors like IT and banking emerged as the top laggards.
* We recommend aligning positions accordingly, with a focus on stock selection and risk management, as the current market tone is likely to persist.

BANKNIFTY
* The banking index witnessed profit booking after posting gains in the previous two sessions; however, the overall bias remains positive.
* The index found strong support at the 21DEMA and as long as it holds above this level, short-term momentum is expected to remain robust.
* All constituent stocks closed in negative territory, with the downside primarily led by IndusInd Bank, Canara Bank, and Federal Bank.
* Higher side is capped around 57,600 while immediate support can be seen at lower levels around 56,600.
