The market reversed all the gains clocked a day before and finished the session on August 7 sharply lower following a late sell-off. The 35 basis points repo rate cut delivered by the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee in line with expectations and the measures listed out to boost the NBFC sector failed to lift sentiment.
The BSE Sensex fell more than 400 points from the day's high indicating that the rate cut and measures may not have been perceived to be enough to boost the slowing economy. The index declined 286.35 points to close at 36,690.50 while the Nifty 50 dropped 92.80 points to 10,855.50, forming a bearish candle on the daily charts.
The broader markets also fell in line with benchmark indices as the Nifty Midcap index lost 0.75 percent. Among sectors, Nifty Bank, Auto and Metal indices shed 1-2 percent.
According to the pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 10,802.37, followed by 10,749.23. If the index starts moving upward, the key resistance levels to watch for out are 10,942.17 and 11,028.83.
The Nifty Bank closed at 27,702.05, down by 320.05 points on August 7. The important pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 27,504.07, followed by 27,306.04. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 28,037.87 and 28,373.63.
