"Indian benchmark indices ended flat to negative after reaching an all-time high," said Mandar Bhojane, a research analyst at Choice Broking

The NSE Nifty 50, after a gap-up opening, made an all-time high at the 23,411.90 level. However, after a volatile session, it finally settled at the day's low, below the 23,250 level. If the price closes below the 23,200 level, it may see further correction down to the 23,100 and 23,000 levels, Bhojane said.

On the flip side, if the index closes above the 23,350 level, it could reach a new all-time high near 23,500 and above. The market is expected to remain sideways and volatile within the 23,100 to 23,400 range, he added.
