How Friday’s Broader Session Unfolded
The Nifty 50 closed at 22,600.00, down 0.39 percent, with a high of 22,787.25 and a low of 22,372.00.

India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, rose 6.98 percent to 16.86, which points to higher expected swings in the near term.

The Nifty Midcap 50 fell 2.10 percent and the Nifty Next 50 fell 2.26 percent, so selling was heavier outside the Nifty 50.

Ankit Jaiswal flags that relative strength turned into relative weakness on Friday, so Monday’s open will show whether the selling continues.
