- GIFT Nifty down ~276 pts (~1.2%)
- Rising crude oil (Brent >$93) — inflation concerns
- Geopolitical escalation (Israel-Iran)
Key Nifty levels: Support 23,100–23,000 (61.8% Fib retracement); Resistance 23,500 / 23,700. A sustained break below 23,000 could open decline toward 22,700.
Bank Nifty has shown relative strength (4-day winning streak), but global risk-off may drag it lower. Support at 54,000; resistance at 55,000.
India VIX fell to 15.78 (-0.61%) — below all key moving averages, supportive if sustained under 15.
