Bears tighten grip as GIFT Nifty hints at a weak start for D-St

Benchmark indices ended negatively on Friday amidst volatility, with Nifty forming a bearish weekly pattern. Analysts suggest a failure to surpass 23,800-24,000 could lead to testing 23,200-23,000 support. A move above this range might signal a pause in the downtrend, potentially pushing the index towards 24,500-24,600.
