On November 18, 2025, Sensex fell 278 points and Nifty slipped below 26,000, ending a six-day winning streak. The decline was fueled by weekly expiry volatility and cautious investor sentiment, despite positive India-US trade progress. The market correction came as investors took a step back, reflecting concerns over short-term market fluctuations despite broader positive economic developments. This pullback is being closely watched by analysts for any signs of long-term market weakness.
