In a lackluster trade today (Thursday, December 26), Indian benchmark indices ended flat on the monthly expiry day. The weakness was on account of corrections in FMCG and bank stocks. While the S&P BSE Sensex settled at 78,472.48, down by 0.39 points, the broader Nifty closed at 23,750.20, higher by 22.55 points or 0.1%.


Commenting on the day's action, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said that Nifty's sideways movement was because investors have chosen to remain on the sidelines. "The index remained below the 200 DMA, reinforcing the prevailing weakness. The RSI indicator showed bearish momentum with a weak crossover, indicating sluggish movement. In the short term, the index may stay under pressure or struggle to rise to higher levels. Support is at 23,700/23,600, while resistance is seen at 23,850, De said.
