The interim budget was the much anticipated non-event which was seen through tight market movements as the Index oscillated in a narrow range to settle the day lower at 21,697.45 with a loss of 28.25 points. PSU Banking was the best-performing sector of the day by gaining over 3%; and on the flip side, Media and Metal segments corrected over 1%. A mixed activity was seen in the Auto and Pharma space. Divergence was seen in the Broader markets where Midcaps corrected and moved in tandem with the Benchmark Index while Smallcaps ended in green. A small bearish candle was formed on the daily chart but the undertone remains bullish with the downside protected at 21,630 which is 21DMA support while the immediate resistance is placed at 21,840.
