Markets, like civilizations, do not collapse in a single moment — they erode through accumulated pressures until a threshold gives way. India's Nifty 50 has crossed one such threshold, breaking below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level amid geopolitical strain, surging crude oil prices, and momentum readings not seen since the pandemic's darkest hours. Analysts now counsel patience over optimism, warning that the market's character — sellers overwhelming every buyer's attempt — is not yet that of a floor being built, but of a descent still finding its depth.
