Trend & Market Predictions
- Selloff deepens: Major indices fall 0.75–2% across the board, as investors brace for further global volatility, FII outflows, and disappointing economic signals.
- Broader market pain: Smallcaps (-1.7%), midcaps (-1.5%) and defensives like healthcare and consumer durables lead declines; no sector is spared.
- Banks and IT weak: Nifty Bank and Nifty IT both down more than 0.7%, mirroring global sector rotation away from risky assets after Fed-driven uncertainty.
- Cap goods/metals/oil hit: Heavy losses in capital goods, metals, oil & gas reflect global growth anxiety and potential earnings downgrades.
- Near-term outlook: Downtrend may persist unless fresh catalysts emerge; volatility likely to stay elevated. Lower levels could attract bargain hunting, but caution is paramount.
What To Watch Today
- Support for Nifty: 24,600 is immediate support; breach could open up 24,450–24,400. Resistance now at 24,800.
- Stock action: Monitor heavyweights like Reliance, HDFC Bank, TCS, L&T, and SBI for intraday cues and potential stabilization.
- Macro drivers: Global central bank commentary, FII flows, and domestic earnings will set the tone. Possible knee-jerk reactions to overnight US and Asian market moves.
- Volatility signals: India VIX and turnover to be watched closely for signs of panic or bottom-fishing activity.
Strategy tip: Defensive positioning, strict stop-losses, and an eye on quality largecaps are advised until markets stabilize. Look for opportunities in cash-rich, low-debt stocks with resilient earnings.
