Markets ended the day with minor cuts, trimming deeper losses in the final hour of trade. The Nifty slipped below the 24,700 mark, weighed down by heavyweights like Reliance Industries and banking majors ICICI and HDFC Bank. Financials led the drag, while broader markets also remained under pressure with the Nifty Midcap index slipping 0.4%. On the other hand, auto stocks continued their upward momentum, buoyed by expectations of festive pre-buying. Investors now turn their focus to the RBI policy decision due later today, with a broad consensus expecting a status quo. Meanwhile, Q1 earnings from Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Trent, and BHEL are also on the radar.

The Nifty 50 staged a pullback rally on August 4, recovering from over a 1% loss seen the previous week. However, the index continues to form lower highs and lower lows, with momentum indicators still flashing bearish signals. Experts say the trend will likely remain under pressure unless the Nifty decisively closes above key short- and medium-term moving averages. On the upside, 24,800 remains an immediate hurdle, with 24,950 acting as a key resistance. On the downside, support is seen at 24,500–24,550, a break down below this zone could strengthen the bearish grip. Stocks to watch today: Airtel and Britannia will be reporting earnings, a block deal in Paytm is likely, and IndusInd Bank has received the RBI’s nod to appoint Rajiv Anand as MD & CEO.

Indian markets kicked off the August series on a weak note, with the Nifty 50 slipping below its 100-day EMA on August 1st, ending the day 0.8% lower. Momentum indicators are flashing red, with the index continuing to form lower highs and lower lows. Experts warn that a breach below the crucial 24,500 mark could intensify selling pressure, dragging the index towards the 24,200–24,000 zone. On the upside, a bounce back will face resistance near 24,700–24,800, and unless the Nifty decisively crosses 25,000, expect further consolidation. All eyes now on two big triggers this week — the RBI’s policy decision and August 7 when the 25% tariff kicks in. Add to that a packed earnings calendar with numbers from heavyweights like SBI and Tata Motors. What’s the road ahead for the market?
