The Sensex surged by 1,078 points to settle at 77984, while the Nifty climbed 307 points to close at 23,658.

• The advance-decline ratio on the BSE stood at 1.53, indicating strong market breadth.

 Indian Equity Market Report - March 11, 2025

Market Summary: Indian equity indices ended on a flat note in a volatile session on March 11. The Sensex closed at 74,102.32, down 12.85 points or 0.02%, while the Nifty ended at 22,497.90, up 37.60 points or 0.17%.

The market started with a gap-down opening, influenced by weak global cues, but witnessed a smart recovery driven by selective buying in heavyweight stocks. The Nifty successfully filled its opening downside gap and closed near the day's high.

Technical Analysis:

• A long bull candle on the daily chart suggests a bullish 'meeting line' pattern, indicating potential for further upside.

• This pattern, similar to one observed on March 4, signals a positive outlook if confirmed by continued momentum.

• Nifty appears to be forming a higher bottom at the 22,300 support level, signaling a potential bullish reversal.

• Immediate resistance is seen at 22,700-22,800; a breakout above this level could confirm a positive shift and lead to further gains.

• Support levels are established at 22,315 and 22,300.

Sectoral Performance:

• Top Gainers: Realty (+3.75%), Metals, Telecom, Oil & Gas (0.5-3% gains)

Market Outlook:

• The 22,330 support level remains crucial for sustaining the upward momentum.

• On the upside, the Nifty may retest the 22,600-22,650 zone. A breakout above 22,700 could drive Nifty toward 23,000.

• Conversely, a breach below 22,300 could shift sentiment negatively.

Global Influence: Global volatility continues to impact sentiment due to concerns over economic slowdown, ongoing trade tensions, and foreign fund outflows. However, supportive factors such as easing crude oil prices, a softer Dollar Index, and anticipated improvement in domestic earnings are stabilizing the domestic market.

Conclusion: Despite ongoing global uncertainties, the domestic market's resilience, coupled with selective buying in key sectors, is supporting a bullish outlook. Traders are advised to focus on selective stock-picking while monitoring the 22,330-22,730 range for directional cues.

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR 11 MARCH 2025

 In a volatile trading session on March 10, Indian equity indices closed lower amid broad-based selling across sectors. The Nifty ended around the 22,450 mark, giving up its intraday gains due to late-session profit booking.

Market Summary:

• Sensex: Down 217.41 points (-0.29%) at 74,115.17

• Nifty 50: Down 92.20 points (-0.41%) at 22,460.30

The day began with a flat opening, followed by an upward movement in the first half, pushing the Nifty past 22,650. However, strong profit booking in the final hour erased those gains, driving the index below 22,500 by the close.

Top Performers and Laggards

• Top Losers: IndusInd Bank, Trent, ONGC, Eicher Motors, Bajaj Auto

• Top Gainers: Power Grid Corp, HUL, Infosys, SBI Life, Nestle India

Sectoral Performance

• FMCG was the only sector to finish positive.

Broader Market Movement

• Over 120 stocks hit their 52-week lows, including notable names such as Vedant Fashions, KNR Construction, IndusInd Bank, Astral, Shoppers Stop, IDFC First Bank, EKI Energy, Shiva Cement, and PNB Gilts.

Technical Outlook

The Nifty faced resistance near its 21 EMA on the daily chart, which led to a pullback towards 22,400. Moving forward:

• Support Level: Nifty is expected to find crucial support at 22,400. A sustained break below this level may weaken market sentiment, potentially triggering further declines towards 22,330 and even 21,960.

• Resistance Level: On the upside, resistance is seen at 22,620-22,750. A decisive break above this range could reinforce bullish momentum and strengthen overall market sentiment, especially in large-cap stocks.

Outlook

For the Nifty to resume an upward trend, the index must breach the 22,620-22,730 resistance zone. Conversely, a break below 22,330 could result in extended selling pressure, retesting the previous swing low of 21,960.

Investors are advised to remain cautious amid ongoing volatility, with a focus on large-cap stability and sector-specific opportunities.

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR 10 MARCH 2025

 Market Overview: Indian equity indices ended flat amid volatility, with the Nifty closing at 22,552.50 (+0.03%) and the Sensex at 74,332.58 (-0.01%). The market paused after two consecutive days of gains, trading in a narrow range as investors remained cautious amid weak global cues.

Significant put writing at the 22,300 strike and call writing at the 22,800 strike indicate a mixed sentiment. The formation of a small-bodied candle on the daily chart reflects the market's current cautious tone.

Market Outlook: The Nifty faces stiff resistance around the 22,700 level and requires fresh catalysts, such as renewed buying in banking heavyweights, to push higher. However, ongoing global uncertainties, driven by US tariff concerns and weak global sentiment, may hinder this recovery attempt.

Given the mixed signals, maintaining a positive yet cautious stance is advised, with a focus on prudent position sizing. Large-cap stocks are recommended for stability amid the current market scenario.

Conclusion: While Indian markets have demonstrated resilience amid global volatility, investors should stay vigilant and adopt a balanced strategy. Continued stability in corporate earnings and improved valuation comfort could drive long-term gains.

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR TOMORROW MARCH 2025

 Equity Market Performance: Indian equity indices ended on a negative note on March 4, with the Nifty closing below the 22,100 mark. The market witnessed a recovery from intraday lows but remained in negative territory due to adverse global cues stemming from escalating global trade tensions.

At close:

• Sensex: Down 96.01 points (-0.13%) at 72,989.93

• Nifty 50: Down 36.65 points (-0.17%) at 22,082.65

Despite the weak sentiment, the broader market outperformed, driven by value buying in small-cap stocks. The BSE Midcap index ended flat, while the Smallcap index rose by 1.3%.

Market Trends:

• The market remained lackluster and extended its ongoing corrective phase.

• Nifty, after an initial dip, gradually recovered and traded in a range-bound manner.

• Sectoral trends were mixed: Energy, metal, and banking stocks gained, while auto and IT stocks underperformed.

• A rebound in small-cap stocks improved market breadth, though mid-caps closed on a flat note.

Key Support & Resistance Levels:

• Support: 21,800 - 22,000 zone

• Resistance: 22,260

• A decisive fall below 21,800 could shift the market sentiment negatively.

• Weakness in the US Dollar and a sharp fall in crude oil prices cushioned the downside for the Rupee.

• USDINR spot price is expected to trade in the range of Rs 87.10 - Rs 87.60.

• ISM manufacturing PMI in the US fell to 50.3 in February from 50.6 in January, missing expectations of 50.9, adding to global economic concerns.

Market Outlook: While global trade tensions and FII outflows continue to weigh on sentiment, selective buying in key sectors is limiting the downside. The short-term outlook remains cautious, with 22,000 acting as a key support level. A sustained break below 21,800 could indicate further downside, while any recovery beyond 22,260 may trigger a positive shift in momentum.

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR 4 MARCH 2025

 The Indian equity markets began the week on a volatile note but ended nearly unchanged, reflecting mixed cues from both domestic and global factors. The Nifty index briefly attempted an uptick before slipping lower in the first half, nearly testing the crucial 22,000-support level, before settling at 22,119.30.

Sectoral Performance: Mixed Trends Persist

Sectoral performance showed divergence, with realty, metal, and IT stocks witnessing a rebound, while weakness in banking and financials capped overall gains. The broader indices remained choppy and closed largely unchanged, underscoring investor caution amid market fluctuations.

Key Market Trends and Indicators

Volatility Continues: Nifty's movement reflected choppy trading, with a small negative candle forming on the daily chart, characterized by an upper and long lower shadow. This pattern indicates a volatile session with a minor recovery attempt from near the 22,000 mark.

Technical Outlook: The index attempted a mild upside recovery but remains in a downtrend. Resistance is expected around the 22,300 level, while a decisive move above 22,500 could signal a short-term bottom reversal. Conversely, a fall below 22,000 could see the next support at the 21,800-21,700 range.

Fibonacci Support: On Monday, Nifty found support around 22,000 and managed to close above the crucial 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 22,043, which is derived from the 2022 low of 15,213 to its all-time high of 26,277. This level remains a key technical marker for traders.

RSI and Market Sentiment: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains highly oversold at 22 on the daily chart, indicating a potential short-term rebound toward the 400-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 22,475. However, unless Nifty decisively closes above 22,600, the broader trend favors a sell-on-rise strategy.

Global Factors and Market Sentiment

Global uncertainties, coupled with sustained foreign fund outflows, continue to keep market participants on edge. With valuations nearing oversold territory, domestic indicators hint at a possible rebound, supported by improving economic growth, rising consumption expenditure, and a robust agricultural sector. However, the sustainability of this recovery remains uncertain, contingent on easing global trade uncertainties.

Key Market Movers

Gainers: Bharat Electronics, Eicher Motors, Grasim Industries, BPCL, and JSW Steel.

Losers: Coal India, Reliance Industries, Bajaj Finserv, HDFC Bank, and Bajaj Auto.

Broader Market and Sectoral Highlights

BSE Midcap Index: Up 0.25%.

BSE Smallcap Index: Down 0.7%.

Sectoral Performance: Consumer durables, IT, metal, and realty sectors gained 0.5%-1%, while media, PSU banks, and oil & gas sectors declined 0.3%-1%.

Market Outlook: What to Watch For

The banking sector's performance will be crucial in shaping the market trend in the coming sessions. Traders should remain cautious, focusing on strategic stock selection and effective trade management. Immediate resistance for Nifty is at 22,300, while key support stands at 22,000. A breach of this support on a closing basis could lead to further downside toward 21,800.

As the markets navigate ongoing volatility, investors should stay alert to global and domestic developments while positioning their trades accordingly.

Market Consolidation Continues: Navigating the Uncertainty

 The stock market remained largely subdued on the weekly expiry day, with Nifty ending nearly unchanged at 22,912.90. The ongoing tug-of-war between key sectors—banking and IT—has kept market participants on edge, leading to a narrow trading range and a lack of clear direction.

Sectoral Performance: A Mixed Bag

While some sectors showed resilience, others underperformed. The metal, energy, and auto sectors emerged as the top gainers, offering some support to the market. However, banking and IT continued to struggle, creating an imbalance in the broader market sentiment. On the brighter side, mid and small-cap indices extended their winning streak, advancing nearly one and a half percent each, providing much-needed relief amid the lackluster performance of large-cap stocks.

Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch

Nifty’s price action on Thursday reflected a consolidation phase, with the index closing lower by 19 points. The market saw an initial dip followed by a mild recovery, but the latter half of the session remained largely range-bound. A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart near the recent lows, signaling a potential pause in the ongoing decline.

Currently, Nifty is hovering around the crucial support level of 22,700, which aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. If the index manages to sustain above the immediate resistance at 23,100, it could indicate a short-term bottom reversal, potentially pushing the index to higher levels in the coming sessions.

Trading Strategy: Caution is Key

Given the lack of sustained momentum from banking and IT, traders should adopt a cautious stance. While broader market indices are showing signs of strength, a decisive move above 23,100 is needed for a clear bullish confirmation. Meanwhile, select pockets across various sectors—except FMCG—are witnessing notable traction, presenting opportunities for stock-specific trades.

Outlook for the Next Few Sessions

With Nifty consolidating near a crucial support zone, the possibility of an upside bounce remains on the table. However, market participants should closely monitor banking and IT sectors for potential trend signals. Until a definitive breakout occurs, it is advisable to focus on quality stock selection and avoid aggressive positions.

As we move into the next trading sessions, maintaining a disciplined approach and being adaptable to market conditions will be crucial. Stay tuned for further updates as the market structure evolves in the coming days.

Market Overview

After demonstrating a sustainable upside bounce from the lower support of 22,800 levels on Wednesday, Nifty was unable to maintain its intraday gains on Thursday and ultimately closed lower by 13 points.

• Immediate support is positioned at 22,800 levels.

• Selling pressure on rebounds suggests that bears are still in control.

• Global uncertainties, including risks of potential tariff wars, are contributing to market caution.

• A stock-specific trading approach is recommended with a strong focus on risk management.

Market Movement

• Markets remained volatile on the weekly expiry day, leading to a flat closing amid mixed cues.

• The session started positively, but profit booking in select heavyweight stocks erased early gains.

• Broader indices experienced choppy trade, with the small-cap index slipping nearly 0.4%.

Candlestick Pattern Analysis

NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR 12 FEB 2025

 Market Overview: The downside momentum in the market continued for the fifth consecutive session on Tuesday, with the Nifty closing the day with a steep decline of 309 points. Opening on a negative note, the market witnessed sustained selling pressure for the majority of the session. A sharp intraday weakness emerged during the mid-session, pushing Nifty to close near its intraday lows.

Technical Analysis: A significant long bear candle was formed on the daily chart, decisively breaking the crucial support level of 23,400 and closing lower. This pattern indicates a strong prevalence of downside momentum in the market. The bullish chart pattern, which had formed following the recent upside bounce, has now been negated, shifting the overall sentiment to sharply negative.

The larger degree bearish pattern of lower tops and bottoms is clearly visible on the daily chart. With the Nifty continuing its downward trajectory, it is now approaching a new lower bottom below the swing low of January at 22,786 levels.

Resistance and Support Levels:

• Immediate Support: 22,786

• Resistance on Upside Bounce: 23,200

Market Outlook: Considering the strong bearish momentum, any short-term upside bounce is expected to face strong resistance around 23,200 levels. If the downward pressure continues, Nifty might break below 22,786, leading to further weakness in the market.

Investors and traders are advised to exercise caution, closely monitor key levels, and follow a disciplined risk management approach in the current volatile market conditions.

Indian Equity Market Report – February 10, 2025

Market Summary:

On February 10, Indian equity indices ended on a negative note, with the Nifty closing below the crucial 23,400 mark. The Sensex fell by 548 points to settle at 77311, while the Nifty declined by 178 points (0.76%) to close at 23,381.

Market Performance Overview:
The stock market exhibited pessimism throughout the trading session as subdued corporate earnings, ongoing global tariff concerns, and currency depreciation weighed on investor sentiment. Foreign investors continued to withdraw funds in favor of safe haven US financial assets, leading to market weakness. Expensive valuations led to further declines in mid and small-cap stocks.

Key Highlights:

• Nifty closed lower for the fourth consecutive session.

• A long bearish candlestick formed on the daily chart, breaking below key support levels (23,400).

• Immediate support level: 23,220; a break below this could nullify the bullish higher-top-higher-bottom chart pattern.

• Immediate resistance level: 23,500.

• A further downside movement could push Nifty towards the 23,000 mark if it sustains below 23,350.

• RSI has entered a bearish crossover, indicating a further decline.

Sectoral & Stock Performance:

• All sectoral indices ended in the red, with the metal, media, pharma, consumer durables, energy, and realty sectors declining by 2-3%.

• Broader markets were hit hard, with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices shedding 2% each.

• Top Losers: Trent, Power Grid Corp, Tata Steel, Titan Company, ONGC.

• Top Gainers: Kotak Mahindra Bank, Britannia Industries, Bharti Airtel, HCL Technologies, Tata Consumer Products.

Technical Analysis & Market Outlook:

• The decline continued as Nifty formed a lower top on the daily chart, weakening overall sentiment.

• The index broke its key support level of 23,500, pointing to a further move towards 23,240 as the next support level.

• Resistance has shifted lower to 23,465, indicating a downward trend in the short term.

• If Nifty sustains below 23,350, it may test the 23,000 level.

• Market sentiment remains cautious, with rising domestic yields and investor preference for safer assets like gold adding to the uncertainty.

Conclusion:
The Indian equity market continues to face downward pressure due to global tariff-related concerns, a weak demand environment, and cautious investor sentiment. A further breakdown below 23,220 could trigger additional selling pressure, while a reversal above 23,500 might bring some stability. Investors should exercise caution and closely monitor key support and resistance levels in the coming sessions.

Weekly Trading Report: February 10- February 14, 2025

 Market Overview:

Indian equity indices ended lower for the third consecutive session on February 7, with the Nifty closing below 23,600. The Sensex declined by 197.97 points (-0.25%) to 77,860.19, while the Nifty fell by 43.40 points (-0.18%) to 23,559.95. Market volatility persisted, reacting to the RBI’s monetary policy decision and broader economic concerns.

Key Highlights:

RBI cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% from 6.5%, in line with expectations.

The central bank projected India’s headline inflation for FY25 and FY26 at 4.8% and 4.2% respectively.

The US Dollar index softened due to disappointing US unemployment claims data.

Broader market indices traded mixed, with the Nifty Midcap index marginally up while the Smallcap index shed 0.3%.

Sectoral Performance:

Gainers:

Nifty Metal Index (+2.6%)

Consumer Durables (+1%)

Auto Index (+0.7%)

Losers:

PSU Bank (-1%)

Media (-1%)

Oil & Gas (-1%)

Stock Performance:

Top Gainers: Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, Trent, JSW Steel, Hindalco.

Top Losers: ONGC, ITC, Britannia, SBI, Adani Ports.

Technical Analysis & Market Outlook:

Nifty maintained its short-term support at the 20 DEMA; sustaining above this level is key for a potential rebound.

 Short-term support: 23,450

Immediate resistance: 23,700

A decisive breakout above 23,700 could drive a rally towards 24,050.

The index remains volatile but retains a positive bias if it holds above 23,450.

Currency Market Outlook:

The Indian Rupee rallied following the RBI’s rate cut but remains under pressure due to weak domestic markets and dollar demand.

USD/INR expected to trade within Rs 87.20 - Rs 87.70.

Global uncertainty over US trade tariffs could weigh on the Rupee, but RBI intervention may provide support at lower levels.

Market Strategy for Next Week:

Stock-Specific Approach: With mixed earnings results and continued FII selling, investors should focus on select sectors showing strength, such as metals and auto.

Risk Management: Given the ongoing volatility, traders should maintain disciplined stop-loss levels and manage exposure carefully.

Macro Factors to Watch: US non-farm payroll data and global trade developments will be key factors influencing market sentiment.

 Conclusion:

The market’s direction next week will hinge on whether the Nifty sustains above 23,450. A breakout above 23,700 could trigger bullish momentum towards 24,050. Traders should remain cautious, considering global uncertainties and domestic market trends. Sectoral strength in metals and autos provides potential opportunities, while defensive plays in FMCG and oil & gas may remain under pressure.
