indian stock markets ⁤ended the‌ week nearly flat, with the Nifty ‍gaining just 11.05 points, or 0.04%. Trading‌ was subdued throughout the week, impacted by a holiday on Thursday for municipal elections in Mumbai and a general lack of ⁣significant economic news.

The⁣ Nifty fluctuated between a ⁣high of 25,899.80 and a low of​ 25,473.40, a ​range of 426.40 points. The India VIX, a measure of‍ market volatility, rose slightly ‌by 4.10% to‍ 11.37, but remains at historically low levels.

Currently, the Nifty is consolidating just below its recent high.It faces resistance around 25,900 and continues to hold above its 100-day moving average of​ 25,570.⁤ Analysts say the market is awaiting a clear⁢ catalyst to break out of this pattern.

• Resistance: 25,900 and 26,150
• Support: 25,500 and 25,200
• Potential Breakdown: A move below 25,200⁤ could⁣ lead to a test⁢ of ‍the ​24,700-24,800 range.
