"Market is likely to remain volatile in the near-term alternating between FII selling and DII buying. Attractive valuations in other markets, particularly in Chinese stocks, will facilitate further selling by FIIs in India since Indian valuations are elevated," V.K.

Concerns of earnings downgrades in H2 FY25 render Indian valuations difficult to sustain.
