Market expert Anil Singhvi told Zee Business that the Nifty 50 is likely to find support in the 26,000–26,100 range, with a strong buy zone seen between 25,875 and 25,975 levels.

He added that the Bank Nifty may see support at 59,575–59,750 levels, while a strong buy zone for the index lies in the 59,250–59,450 range.
