The Nifty 50 traded lower for almost throughout the session and ended down 0.22 percent on October 28, marking a negative start to the November series. The index faced resistance near the 20-day EMA (22,812) for another session, which is expected to be a crucial zone for further upside in the short term toward 23,000–23,200. Until then, consolidation and range-bound trading could continue, with 22,500–22,400 providing support, as a drop below it may drag the index toward 22,200, according to experts.
Overall, the broader market structure continues to be weak as the index sustained below all key moving averages. The RSI fell to 44.90 amid consolidation but held above the signal line. The MACD also sustained above the reference line, but the green histogram bar shrank for the sixth consecutive session.
