Indian equities commenced the week on a tepid note and weakness in the Mid/Smallcap segments put further pressure on the Index to trade lower; however, IT and Banking counters came to the rescue and helped the Index to recover but the higher levels did not last for long and erased all its gains to end the session at 24,141.30 with a loss of 6.90 points, said Aditya Gaggar, director, Progressive Shares.

"Barring IT and Banking Indices, all the other sectors ended the trade in red where Media and Metal were the major laggards. The underperformance by the Broader markets extended as Mid and Smallcaps corrected by 0.88% & 1.20% respectively. After testing both resistance (24,250) and support (24,000) levels, the Index has formed a Spinning Top candlestick pattern which indicates indecisiveness between the bulls and bears. A convincing move on either side is necessary for a clear trend," Gaggar said.
