The index opened at 23,910 and closed at 23,870 — a modest 40-point net move that hides a much wider fight underneath. The session's low came near 23,800, the high near 23,990 — close to 190 points of range packed into a single day. Bears held the field for the second straight day of expiry week.
Tomorrow carries its own weight — a momentum session, the kind that often shapes which side controls the run into expiry. Friday's close becomes the real marker to watch: the bulls' last realistic window this week to reclaim the tape. Miss that, and the structure points toward the bears' own target — a test near the 23,666 zone, with a close below 24,000 read as confirmation that bears remain in control.
