  "account": "Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty concluded lower for an uninterrupted third week, maintaining a cautious technical outlook as they encounter significant resistance levels. Various factors, including global interest-rate concerns, geopolitical uncertainty and volatility stemming from the new Closing Auction Session, continue to shape market sentiment.\n\nFor the Sensex, the 77,700-78,000 band is anticipated to serve as immediate resistance. Should the index sustain a breakout above 78,000, it might bolster the recovery and potentially propel the benchmark towards the 78,500-78,800 range. Conversely, the psychological barrier of 77,000 remains a critical support level. Should it fall below this point, the subsequent support zone around 76,700-76,500 would become more prominent. Maintaining above 77,000 is crucial for upholding the overall recovery structure. A definitive breach beneath this level could instigate additional selling pressure and undermine the technical outlook.\n\nTurning to the Nifty, the 24,000-23,800 range persists as a key near-term support area. On the upside, the 24,300-24,400 zone acts as the immediate resistance zone. A sustained surge above 24,400 could invigorate momentum and pave the way for a recovery towards 24,600. However, until the index decisively overcomes this barrier, the near-term trend is expected to remain cautious and range-bound. Despite a rebound on Friday, bolstered by strong buying in IT shares, favorable global technology cues, and reduced crude oil prices, both indices ended the week with slight declines – the Sensex down 0.36 per cent and the Nifty 0.31 per cent.",
