Newspoint
Markets ended marginally lower on Monday, with the Nifty slipping about 0.3% to close near the 26,250 mark after a choppy session in which early optimism gradually faded. The ongoing consolidation appears healthy following the recent up move, as long as the benchmark manages to hold its previous swing lows.

Analysts say the immediate support zone for the Nifty is placed around 26,000–26,200, while the upside potential towards the 26,500–26,700 zone remains intact in the near term.
