In the near-term the market will continue to be news-driven, oscillating between hope and fear. Reports of second round of talks between US and Iran are keeping hopes of resolution to the conflict alive. Brent crude at $95 and declining spot prices of crude reflect market confidence that the conflict may not last long. But if it does, crude price will again spike impacting stock markets. The mother market US cruising at high levels do not reflect any concern of prolonged war. A prolonged war means slower growth and higher inflation for long. Such a scenario will push the market down. In brief, uncertainty looms large. During such periods of uncertainty, the only thing investors can do is to remain calm and exercise utmost discipline in investing. Fairly-valued fundamentally sound stocks will be available at reasonable prices during this period of uncertainty and fear. Such stocks can be accumulated in a calibrated manner for the long-term

Sensex Today | Market trades flat at pre-opening

Benchmark indices are trading flat in the pre-opening session.

The Sensex was up 125.14 points or 0.16 percent at 78,645.44, and the Nifty was up 12 points or 0.05 percent at 24,376.85.

Aakash Shah, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Broking

Indian equity markets are expected to open on a mildly positive note on Tuesday (21st April 2026), supported by stable global cues and a firm trend in GIFT Nifty. GIFT Nifty is currently trading around 24,388, up by 50 points, indicating a positive start for domestic benchmark indices. Early trends also suggest a steady undertone as global equities remain stable and macro uncertainty is limited.

In the previous session (20th April 2026), benchmark indices ended on a flat to marginally positive note after a volatile trading session. The Nifty 50 closed at 24,364.85, up 11.30 points (0.05%), reflecting a cautious yet resilient undertone in the market.

Overall, the market setup for today suggests a mildly positive to range-bound opening, supported by firm GIFT Nifty trends and stable global cues. However, the sharp rise in volatility (India VIX at 18.79, up 9.21%) along with FII selling and ongoing consolidation near resistance levels indicates that some profit booking or sideways movement cannot be ruled out. Sustaining above the 24,450–24,500 zone will remain crucial for further upside momentum in the near term, while strong DII buying is likely to provide support on declines.

Currency Check | Rupee opens lower

Indian rupee opened lower by 18 paise at 93.30 per dollar on Tuesday versus Monday's close of 93.12.

Both the consolidation near 24400 and dips thereof getting contained in the 24277/250 region evolved on anticipated lines. However, the subsequent upswing did not gain enough traction to put the 24900 view firmly in play.

This prompts us to start the day on a cautious note, eying dips to 24150. While 24400 is expected to keep a lid on upside attempts, a break of the same is less likely to lead to vertical upsides.

Renewed disputes over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz injected volatility into global markets. Investors interpreted the recent disruptions in the Middle East as potential negotiation tactics rather than the onset of a full-scale conflict. With the ceasefire set to expire this week, market participants remain cautious, awaiting further developments.

Oil prices surged but stayed below the $100 mark, while the rupee weakened, raising concerns about inflationary pressures. Despite these headwinds, investors are giving some weights to the progressing Q4 earnings season. This has led to selective accumulation in growth-oriented sectors such as power, capital goods, and consumer durables, which continue to attract attention for their long-term potential.

On Monday, the benchmark index Nifty exhibited a gradual formation of higher highs during intraday trading, indicating attempts to extend the ongoing upward momentum. However, despite multiple efforts, the index failed to cross the crucial 24500 mark. This rejection at higher levels led to a mild profit booking phase, resulting in a minor intraday correction. Eventually, Nifty concluded the session near the 24365 level, registering a marginal gain of 0.05%.

Technically, the day’s price action resulted in the formation of a small bodied candle with visible shadows on both the higher and lower ends. This candle structure highlights a state of indecision among market participants, largely emerging after the sharp upside rally witnessed in the recent period. Additionally, momentum indicators have remained largely flat over the last four trading sessions, further reinforcing the view that the market is currently in a consolidation phase with a lack of strong directional conviction.

Going ahead, the zone of 24230–24200 is expected to act as an important support area for the index. On the upside, the 24480–24500 zone will continue to act as a crucial resistance, as selling pressure has previously emerged near these levels. A decisive and sustainable breakout above 24500, could pave the way for a further upside momentum, with the index potentially heading towards the 24650 level in the near term.
