- Nifty closed exactly at its 100‑week moving average of 24,441.95, a level historically seen as intermediate‑term trend support.
- Advance–Decline line slipped to a new low while the Nifty 500 has not made a fresh low, indicating negative breadth divergence that typically precedes broader corrective pressure.
- Weekly RSI sits at 38.47 in the neutral‑to‑bearish zone and has formed a fresh 14‑period low, reflecting weakening momentum.
- Weekly MACD remains below its signal line and stays in negative territory, signaling continued weak broader momentum.
- Infrastructure Index rolled into the leading quadrant of Relative Rotation Graphs, suggesting it will likely outperform the Nifty 500.
- Pharma Index also entered the leading quadrant, indicating relative strength against the broader market.
- Media Index continues to roll strongly inside the improving quadrant, showing relative outperformance.
Why it matters: Investors holding Nifty‑linked portfolios face heightened downside risk if the 24,441.95 support breaks, while those positioned in infrastructure, pharma and media can capture relative outperformance as breadth and momentum shift away from services, IT and auto, offering short‑term traders a defensive edge.
