In addition, on Intraday charts the index still holding lower top formation, which supports further weakness from the current levels. However, the medium-term texture of the market is still in to the positive side.

Above 79,700, the market could bounce back till 80,500-80,750.” On the other side, dismissal of 20 day SMA or 79,700 could accelerate the selling pressure. Below 79,700 market could retest the level of 79,300-79,000.

However, markets ended off their lows on selective buying support although concerns of higher valuations continue to weigh.”
