While mid-cap and banking indices are showing positive momentum, major indices like SENSEX and NIFTY remain under slight selling pressure. The reduced volatility as indicated by the India VIX could be signaling a less turbulent session ahead, but the market remains divided as investors weigh various global and domestic factors.
