Below the Quote on market wrap 14 August 2025 from Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd 

"Markets traded lackluster on the weekly expiry day and ended almost unchanged. After a flat start, the Nifty oscillated within a narrow range before finally settling at 24,631.30 level Meanwhile, a mixed trend across sectors kept participants engaged, with IT, financials, and banking ending in the green, while metal, energy, and realty were among the top losers. However, the recent decline resumed in the broader indices after a short-lived bounce, with both the midcap and smallcap indices losing nearly half a percent each.

The prevailing consolidation suggests that markets have largely digested recent negatives and are now awaiting a trigger for recovery. Additionally, oversold positions in heavyweights across sectors are further supporting this possibility.

Going forward, a decisive break above 24,800 on the Nifty could spark fresh momentum; otherwise, consolidation may persist. Participants should maintain a stock-specific trading approach with a focus on risk management."
