Friday, August 28, 2026 — A Slow Bleed Reverses Into a Quiet Close Higher

NIFTY opened at 24,292.7, dipped to a low of 24,250.0 by late morning on fresh short building, then spent the rest of the session grinding back up to close at 24,341.9, up 60.0 points (+0.25%) — a session that recovered almost all of its early damage without ever making a dramatic move.

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 — A New High Made, and Sold Just as Fast

NIFTY opened at 24,540.0 and pushed to a new high of 24,573.5 within the first bars, then sold steadily all session down to 24,405.1, closing at 24,420.0 — technically up 85.5 points (+0.35%) versus Tuesday's close, but a session that gave back its entire opening strength and then some.

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 — The Weekly Low Gets Tested, Then Erased by the Close

NIFTY opened at 24,176.0, dipped to 24,132.9 — exactly the weekly low — early in the session, then reversed into a sustained short-covering rally that carried price to 24,347.0, a whisker from the weekly high, before closing at 24,333.5, up 123.9 points (+0.51%). The mirror image of Monday's session, in reverse.

Monday, August 24, 2026 — The Weekly High Got Rejected On Arrival

NIFTY opened at 24,341.5 — right at the weekly high — and was rejected almost immediately, selling all session down to 24,173.6, a whisker above the weekly low, before closing at 24,188.1, down 97.9 points (-0.40%). A full round trip from one weekly extreme to the other in a single session.

NIFTY opened at 24,325.0 — which turned out to be the high of the day — sold off through the session to a low of 24,254.0 right on S3, then clawed back to close at 24,288.0, down just 5.0 points (-0.02%). A round trip, not a resolution.

NIFTY opened at 24,400.00, tagged the session high of 24,436.6 — landing almost exactly on the day's CPR Pivot — then a heavy opening sell program dragged price down to 24,288.0, precisely the week's low reference, before an afternoon recovery clawed most of it back into a close of 24,392.7, down just 56.9 points (-0.23%).

Monday to Friday, August 10 to 14, 2026 — A Week That Broke July's High and Never Got It Back

I was travelling this week, so this is the whole story in one sitting. NIFTY opened the week at 24,581.25 and closed it at 24,366.00, down 204.65 points (-0.83%) — a week that broke cleanly below July's old high and spent five sessions failing to reclaim it.
