The market is expected to be directionless this week unless there is a strong closing above 22,000 or a drop below 21,500. The Nifty 50 shed 0.3% and formed a bearish candlestick pattern with support at 21,680 followed by 21,500. The resistance at 21,900-22,000 remains challenging for bulls. Traders should closely monitor the 21,500 level, which could trigger panic in the market.
