Indian benchmark indices extended their losing streak to a fourth consecutive session on Thursday, reversing early gains as selling pressure intensified amid a fresh breakout in Brent crude oil prices above $95 a barrel and continued geopolitical tensions. The Nifty 50 fell 0.17% to settle at 23,873, while the Sensex declined 0.55% to close at 76,152.

The Nifty 50’s immediate bias remains negative, with sustained trade below 24,025 potentially opening the way for a decline towards the key support zone of 23,800-23,600, coinciding with the previous major gap area and the July 2026 low, according to Pabitro Mukherjee, Deputy Vice President-Research, Bajaj Broking.

On the higher side, a move above the current week’s high and the 50-day EMA, placed around 24,143, could open a pullback towards 24,300-24,350 in the coming sessions. From a short-term perspective, only a move above the last two weeks’ high of around 24,380 would signal a resumption of positive momentum.
