The Indian equity market faced a third consecutive day of losses, with the Nifty closing below 24,500 and struggling against key resistance levels at 24,550 and 24,700. Immediate support is seen in the 24,400-24,350 range, and a break below could lead to levels around 24,200-24,000. Global cues are subdued, and attention is on HUL following disappointing volume growth, along with key earnings reports from ITC, IndusInd Bank, and NTPC.
