🧭 Market Recap – Weakness Creeps In After One-Day Rebound
Markets failed to carry forward Monday’s momentum as selling pressure returned across sectors. Nifty breached the 25,100 support zone intraday and struggled to hold key levels amid weakness in banking, financials, and select index heavyweights. Bank Nifty remained the biggest drag, weighed by profit booking in HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and IndusInd Bank.
