NIFTY

* Nifty witnessed a sharp sell-off on the monthly expiry day, with the Nifty 50 opening gap-down and slipping below the 22,500 mark amid weak global cues.

* Sectorally, the decline was led by banking, financials, realty, and auto stocks, while select defensive and metal names showed relative resilience.

* With the onset of the new series, it will be crucial to watch whether the index holds its long-term moving average, i.e., the 200-week EMA, placed around the 21,900 mark.
