Nifty 50 Faces Bearish Pressure Near Key Support Levels Amid Market Consolidation
The Nifty 50 index showed bearish momentum on August 17, falling 78 points to 24,288 amid consolidation and elevated oil prices. Key support levels include 24,200, near the 50-day EMA and 50 percent Fibonacci retracement, with a break below possibly leading to declines toward 24,000. Resistance is expected around 24,400-24,500. The Bank Nifty must hold 57,100 support to avoid further downside. Technical indicators suggest continued negative bias, while market breadth remained weak with more declining shares than advancing ones.
