Market Close | Nifty below 24,700, Sensex down 572 pts

While India's expensive valuations have been prompting investors to redeem their holdings at regular intervals, muted Q1 results so far and persistent selling by overseas investors has intensified selling pressure over past few sessions. Also, investors are taking a cautious approach and curbing their holdings ahead of the monthly F&O expiry on Thursday amid global economic uncertainty and sluggish demand back home.
Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities
Today, the benchmark indices continued to face selling pressure at higher levels. The Nifty ended 156 points lower, while the Sensex was down by 572 points. Among sectors, the Realty index lost the most, shedding nearly 4.29 percent, whereas some buying interest was seen in selective pharma and FMCG stocks. Technically, a bearish candle on daily charts and a lower top formation on intraday charts indicate further weakness from the current levels.
We are of the view that as long as the market is trading below 24,800/81100, the weak sentiment is likely to continue. On the downside, the market may correct until 24,550–24,500/80500-80350. On the upside, a break above 24,800/81100 could lead to a pullback rally extending up to 24,900/81400. Further upside may also continue, potentially pushing the market up to 25,000/81700.
Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities
The downside momentum continued for the third consecutive sessions on Monday and Nifty closed the day lower by 156 points. After opening lower, the market made an attempt of recovery in the early part of the session. The bounce back effort has failed and the market weakened further in the mid to later part of the session.
A reasonable negative candle was formed on the daily chart with upper shadow. Technically, this market action indicates downside continuation pattern with sell on rise opportunity.
The bearish chart pattern like lower highs and lower lows intact on the daily chart and present weakness could be in line with the new lower low formation.
The underlying trend of Nifty remains weak and one may expect some more declines in the coming sessions. The next crucial lower supports to be watched around 24500. Immediate resistance is placed at 24800.
Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking
Markets remained under pressure and declined over half a percent, extending the ongoing corrective phase. After an initial dip, the Nifty attempted to recover, but sharp selling in Kotak Bank following its earnings and continued weakness in select heavyweights from the telecom and IT sectors dragged the index lower as the session progressed. As a result, the Nifty slipped below its immediate support level of 24,700 and eventually settled at 24,680.90. Most sectors ended in the red, with realty, metal, and banking emerging as the top losers. The broader indices also came under pressure, shedding between 0.90% and 1.33%.
Markets are currently grappling with headwinds on both domestic and global fronts. On the domestic side, earnings disappointments and persistent foreign fund outflows are dampening sentiment. In the banking space, earlier resilience had helped limit the decline; however, renewed pressure across the sector—except for heavyweights ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank—is adding to participants’ concerns. Globally, uncertainty surrounding trade deals, despite strength in the US markets, is contributing to the cautious approach.
We now view the 24,450–24,550 zone as a critical support area, while the 24,900–25,000 range is likely to act as a resistance zone in case of a rebound. Traders should maintain a cautious stance and adjust their positions accordingly.
Vaibhav Vidwani, Research Analyst at Bonanza
Today Indian stock market closed negatively, with the Nifty 50 index falling 0.63% to 24,680 and the Sensex declining by around 570 points, settling near 80,890. The negative close was primarily driven by heavy selling pressure in key banking stocks, especially Kotak Mahindra Bank, which fell nearly 7% after reporting a consolidated net profit drop for the June quarter and highlighting stress in its retail commercial vehicle loan segment due to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions.
Weak Asian market cues, with major indices like Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi declining, also contributed to investor caution. Additionally, a rise in Brent crude oil prices increased concerns about inflationary pressures for India, an oil-importing country.
IT sector stocks faced selling pressure as well, led by companies like TCS and Infosys, with TCS announcing a workforce reduction of 2%, adding to the bearish sentiment. Market volatility, measured by India VIX, rose by nearly 7%, signaling increased nervousness among traders.
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
Once again, bears ruled the day as the Nifty fell below 24,700 amid rising weakness in the market. During the session, the index faced resistance around the 50-EMA and remained below it until the close.
The RSI continues to support the bears with its negative crossover. In the short term, the index may remain under pressure, with a possibility of slipping towards 24,550. On the higher end, resistance is seen at 24,800 and 24,950.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments
Domestic market sentiment has remained cautious, weighed down by a disappointing set of Q1 earnings, delays in the India-US trade agreement, and continued FII outflows. In contrast, global markets remain broadly positive, supported by US-EU trade developments that are perceived as less concerning than anticipated.
The upcoming monetary policy decisions from the Fed and BoJ, along with the trajectory of domestic quarterly earnings, are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping market direction in the near term.

The Indian Rupee (INR) has depreciated against the US Dollar (USD), mirroring the trend of most Asian currencies. This weakening is largely attributed to the strengthening dollar, which gained momentum following the recent EU-US Trade deal. The dollar's rise was further fueled by a buying spree leading up to the trade deal deadline, coupled with foreign fund selling in the Indian market.
In the near term, the spot USDINR pair is expected to find support at 86.10 and face resistance at 86.75.

Brokerage Call | Sharekhan keeps 'buy' rating on Bank of Baroda
At CMP, the stock trades at 0.8x/0.7x its FY2026E/FY2027E ABV. The bank highlighted that it is taking continuous efforts to improve overall performance that is broadly holding up well, but with some volatility in some of the key operating metrices.
Stable asset quality outlook is likely to support return ratios and reversal in return ratio is unlikely in near term.
Believe that the bank is likely to sustain RoA at ~1.0% over the next couple of quarters despite pressure on core operating profitability.
The bank needs to ramp up other avenues of productivity (mainly fee income) to drive RoA/RoE expansion.
Given reasonable valuations, maintain a buy rating, with a revised price target of Rs 275.
