Indian stock market: A substantial downturn was witnessed in the Indian stock market which diminished investors' assets, on Tuesday, March 19. Sensex fell 736 points, or 1.01 per cent, to close at 72,012.05 while the Nifty 50 ended the day at 21,817.45, down 238 points, or 1.08 per cent.
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 index, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities, said, "The Nifty has broken down from the rising wedge pattern on the daily chart, suggesting a potential reversal of the uptrend. Additionally, it has fallen below the critical short-term moving average, indicating weakening momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also shown a bearish crossover, indicating increasing selling pressure. Key levels to watch include resistance at 22000 and support at 21800. A drop below 21700 could lead to further correction in the Nifty index."
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, De further said, "The BankNifty experienced another day of sideways trading, indicating ongoing indecision between bulls and bears, marked by the formation of a doji candle. Key levels to watch include support at 46000 and resistance at 47000, where the highest put and call open interests are concentrated. A breakout beyond this range is awaited for a directional move; however, within the range, the bullish sentiment prevails. Traders may consider adopting a buy-on-dip strategy, with 46000 as a stop-loss level."
On triggers for the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal said, “Nifty opened the gap down and remained under pressure throughout the session to close with the loss of 238 points (-1%) at 21817 levels. After consolidating in a narrow range for the last few days, Nifty has fallen below its key support levels, indicating that weakness could continue over the next few days. Selling pressure was seen across the market including mid and small caps. Defensive names witnessed profit booking with IT, FMCG, and Pharma being the top laggards. Investors remained on edge as key central Banks globally are scheduled for a meeting starting with BOJ. Bank of Japan has hiked its interest rate for the first time in 17 years, ending its negative rate policy. We expect the market to remain in consolidation mode as cautiousness persists with the commencement of US Fed meeting today. While the US Fed is likely to maintain its stance and keep the rate unchanged, its commentary will hold importance as it would provide insights into the Central bank’s future rate action."
