The Nifty 50 significantly cut down intraday losses and defended the key support zone placed at 25,300–25,350, which converged with the 50-day EMA, the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement of the recent sharp rally, the falling earlier resistance trendline (now acting as a support line), and the 10-week EMA. However, it still ended with moderate losses on November 7. Experts suggest that if the index manages to hold 25,300 in the upcoming sessions, a gradual upmove toward 25,650–25,800 and then 26,000 could be possible amid consolidation. On the other hand, a decisive break below this level could drive the index toward 25,000.
