  • Nifty Set for Sideways Trend Amid Weak Market Breadth: Sudeep Shah
    May 23, 2026, 3:52 AM EDT. The Nifty index edged up 0.27% to 23,719.30, supported by financial stocks but capped by profit booking in pharma and healthcare sectors. SBI Securities' Sudeep Shah highlighted a continued narrow trading range with weak momentum indicators like the relative strength index (RSI) and average directional index (ADX), reflecting market indecision. Market breadth is notably weak, with gains restricted to select stocks and sectors largely consolidating, signaling limited broad participation. Shah expects the Nifty to remain range-bound between 23,350-23,900 until a clear breakout occurs, with key resistance at 23,850-23,900 and support near 23,350-23,400. This restrained movement suggests sideways trends will dominate near-term market action.
