Nifty opened on a flattish note today but faced selling pressure throughout the session as it slipped below the crucial support of 25150. The index continued to grind lower intraday, weighed down by persistent selling and noticeable put unwinding, eventually closing below its 20-day EMA once again. For the week, the index traded within a 400-point range but struggled to sustain at higher levels. On the daily chart, Nifty has formed a bearish candle and also negated its recent sequence of higher highs, indicating emerging weakness. The lack of follow-up buying and sustained pressure at higher zones continue to dampen sentiment. Going ahead, it has to hold above 25000 zones, for a bounce towards 25250 than 25350 zones else a hold below the same could open the downside move towards 24900 then 24800 zones.
