"Markets extended their decline on Friday, with the Nifty slipping nearly 0.4% to close around 25,795. After a flat start, the index remained under pressure throughout the session amid broad-based selling. Sectorally, most indices moved in line with the benchmark, with FMCG, banking, and pharma among the top losers, while metals stood out, gaining over a percent. The broader indices also ended in the red, leading to weak market breadth.

Persistent profit booking in heavyweights after the recent rally, coupled with declines in FMCG majors post-earnings, weighed on sentiment. Additionally, volatility in global tech stocks and uncertainty surrounding upcoming U.S. inflation data further dampened risk appetite.

We maintain a bullish view despite the ongoing corrective phase and suggest retaining a positive bias as long as Nifty holds above 25,600. However, traders should remain selective, focusing on sectors showing relative strength, particularly large-cap and quality mid-cap stocks."
