Nifty’s fragile technical setup cracks as VIX jumps and sellers keep control into next week

Nifty’s fragile technical setup cracks as VIX jumps and sellers keep control into next week

Dalal Street starts the week on shaky technical footing as Nifty ended sharply lower amid sustained selling and a steep rise in volatility. The index remains trapped below key moving averages, with 24,300–24,500 acting as a major ceiling and 23,200–23,000 the critical support. India VIX jumped to 18.79, while weakening RSI and a bearish weekly candle reinforce a cautious, defensive approach. Traders are advised to avoid aggressive buys until momentum improves.
