On Sensex, 29 out of 30 shares were on the red mark and 1 one share was on the green mark.

Tata Motors, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, SBI, NTPC, and Power Grid are the top losers. Only Sun Pharma is in the green.

According to the brokerage firm Prabhudas Lilladher, "Nifty witnessed a significant slide during the week, with a 22,000 zone sustained as of now with bias maintained with a cautious approach and 21,750 levels as the crucial support base. A decisive breach above the significant 50 EMA level of 22,230 is necessary to improve the bias and establish conviction for further rise."

"Sensex has formed an INSIDE BAR PATTERN on the daily chart, and a decline below 72,300 will drag the index down to 71,500. The support for the day is seen at 72,000/21,900 levels, while the resistance would be at 73,100/22,200 levels."
