🎯 QUICK SUMMARY (Voice / Reel Ready)
Good morning traders.
Global markets are weak after sharp selling in US tech stocks.
Nifty closed at 25,819 and continues to show profit booking.
The index is approaching a crucial support zone of 25,736 to 25,700.
Below this, further downside towards 25,550 is possible.
On the upside, 25,900 remains a strong hurdle.
FIIs buying is not convincing and options data shows heavy call writing.
Volatility is low, but sudden moves are possible due to US CPI data.
Trade light, keep strict stoploss and avoid overtrading today.
