The market wiped out the two-day gains from the previous sessions and saw the biggest single-day fall in the past 30 days on August 13, dented by weak domestic and global cues. Reliance Industries' 10 percent rally, however, restricted the losses to some extent.
The BSE Sensex plunged 623.75 points or 1.66 percent to 36,958.16, while the Nifty50 lost 183.80 points or 1.65 percent to 10,925.90 and formed a large bearish candle, resembling a Long Black Day-kind of formation on daily charts.
The broader market also saw heavy selling pressure with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices falling 2.17 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively. Among sectors, Nifty Bank, Auto, FMCG and IT were hit hard, losing between 2 and 4 percent.
According to the pivot charts, key support level is placed at 10,836.3, followed by 10,746.8. If the index starts moving upward, key resistance levels to watch out for are 11,080.6 and 11,235.4.
Nifty Bank closed at 27,729.10, down 702.80 points. The important pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 27,488.8, followed by 27,248.5. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 28,164.1 and 28,599.1.
