SUMMARY

ITC and Bajaj Finance played a crucial role in helping NIFTY50 extend its record run. India VIX gained 5% to close above the 14-mark. The broader market indices ended in red, which led to a weak market breadth. On the daily chart, the NIFTY50 index formed a bearish reversal pattern, however, confirmation in the subsequent trading session is required to validate this pattern.
