The current market texture is weak, but fresh selloff is possible only after the dismissal of the 20-day simple moving average or below 24,900 and 81,400 for Nifty and Sensex, respectively, according to analysts.

"Below the same, it (Nifty and Senex) could slip till 24,775- 24,725 and 81,000-80,800, respectively. On the flip side, 25,000/81,800 would be the key levels for the bulls.

The NSE Nifty 50 is finding difficulty in overcoming its strong hurdle of 25,100, but on the lower timeframe, said Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Share Brokers Pvt.
