Nifty bulls staged a sharp comeback on Thursday, snapping a three-session losing streak as the index closed above the 25,200 mark. After opening with a strong upside gap, the benchmark witnessed sharp intraday volatility, slipping to the day’s low before finding firm support near the 200-DEMA level. Buying interest returned in the final hour, triggering a decisive rebound and helping the index settle higher on the day. Sectorally, pharma, PSU banks and media stocks outperformed, while the broader markets continued to stay resilient with midcaps and smallcaps beating the benchmark. The rupee also snapped its losing streak, aided by improved global risk sentiment after easing tariff-related concerns. This morning, global cues were xxx.

Profit booking, FII selling are among key reasons to lead to heavy selling on markets on January 22
The 200-day moving average has clearly emerged as the line in the sand for the Nifty, with recent price action showing that conviction on rebounds remains weak. Despite recovering nearly 250 points from the day’s lows, selling resurfaced near the 25,300 mark, forcing the index to end close to where it began. The market tone remains cautious, with even reasonably good earnings being punished by the Street. Going ahead, the 25,000 level is critical to defend, as a decisive break below could reopen downside risks toward the 24,600 zone amid heightened volatility and heavy earnings-driven reactions. This morning, global cues were positive. As US President Donald Trump backtracked on tariffs imposed on European nations, Wall Street and even Asian markets cheered the move.

The sell-off deepened on Dalal Street as the Nifty slipped below key support levels, extending losses for a second straight session and inching closer to its 200-day moving average. The benchmark logged its sharpest single-day fall since May 2025, ending at its lowest level since October 2025, as investor wealth took a hit amid broad-based selling. Heavyweights dragged the indices lower, with just three Nifty stocks managing to close in the green. The pain was sharper in the broader market, with midcaps and smallcaps seeing steeper cuts, while realty, auto and consumer durables led the sectoral losses. Weak earnings and persistent geopolitical tensions continued to cap risk appetite, keeping market sentiment firmly cautious. This morning, global cues were muted. US markets suffered worst day since the last 3 months as trade war fears reignited. Asian markets also started the day lower mirroring moves on the Wall Street.

The Nifty resumed its corrective decline on Monday, falling 108 points to close at 25,585, its lowest level in the ongoing correction and nearly 3 percent below its record high. The market opened with a gap-down and remained under pressure through the session, dragged by weak earnings from index heavyweights such as Reliance Industries and ICICI Bank. Broader markets also mirrored the weakness, with midcaps and smallcaps underperforming, even as an IMF upgrade to India’s growth outlook offered limited support. This morning, global cues were muted. Asian markets started this morning on a subdued note, while US Futures pointed to a muted start for the Wall Street.

The Nifty snapped its two-day losing streak to close marginally higher, though an early rally lost steam as selling pressure emerged near the 25,900 mark. IT stocks led the gains after strong Q3 results from Infosys boosted sector sentiment, while banks showed resilience. In contrast, pharma and metal stocks remained under pressure. Broader markets were mixed, with midcaps edging higher and smallcaps slipping. Going ahead, market direction will be guided by Q3 earnings and global cues, with results from IndiGo, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Eternal lined up this week. This morning, global cues were weak. US markets ended lower overnight while Asian markets also started largely on a negative note.

The Nifty 50 continued to trade in a tight range of 25,600–25,900 for the fourth consecutive session, staying within its 100-day and 50-day EMAs, and closed 0.3% lower on January 14. Elevated volatility, along with cautious technical and momentum indicators, suggests bulls remain tentative as markets await further cues from the ongoing earnings season. Experts believe the index is likely to take a decisive direction only after a clear breakout from the current range. On the downside, a breach below 25,600 could open the door to 25,450, while a move above 25,900 may pave the way for a rally toward the 26,000–26,100 zone. Global cues remain mixed, though GIFT Nifty indicates a steady start for Dalal Street. On the stock-specific front, Infosys will be in focus following its guidance upgrade, while Reliance Industries is set to report its Q3 earnings today.
