🧠 EduInvesting Take:
“If you’re confused whether it’s a correction or a crash, just remember: the more red you see, the closer we are to Twitter influencers tweeting 🩸 and 🚨 together.”
- Volatility is back — India VIX is up nearly 6%
- Global pressure is real — Asia is in the red sea
- Financials are under fire — avoid blind dip-buying
- But midcaps and specific themes (power, defence, pharma) still have juice
🧾 What to Watch for Today:
- RBI Weekly Data (post-market)
- Auto Sales Numbers for May trickling in
- Pre-Election Volatility: Keep your cash close, and memes closer
