The over-deviated markets continued to extend their losses for the fourth week in a row. Over the past five days, barring a few feeble attempts to stage a technical rebound, the Nifty remained largely under sustained selling pressure. The markets extended their downsides while giving up key supports on the daily charts. The trading range widened again; the Nifty oscillated in a wider 904-point range before ending with a decent cut. The volatility also spiked; the India Vix surged by another 12.23% to 14.63 on a weekly basis. Following a largely bearish setup throughout the week, the headline index closed with a net weekly loss of 673.25 points (-2.71%).
