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.

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. Markets will also track the outcome of the BMC election results, due later in the day.

The Nifty 50 slipped 0.2% on January 13, giving up a part of the previous session’s gains. While the index negated the lower high–lower low pattern seen over the past five sessions, it continues to trade below its short- and medium-term moving averages, with momentum indicators still signalling caution. Experts believe the market is likely to remain in a consolidation phase unless the Nifty decisively breaks above the 25,900–26,000 resistance zone. A sustained move above this level could open the door for a rally toward 26,200–26,300, while on the downside, immediate support is seen at 25,600, followed by a key level at 25,450. Globally, Wall Street retreated from record highs, with the S&P 500 drifting lower, weighed down by banking stocks. Asian markets opened mixed, though Japan’s Nikkei scaled a fresh record, crossing the 54,000 mark for the first time. Back home, GIFT Nifty signals a sluggish start for Dalal Street. In commodities, crude oil surged to a 12-week high amid escalating geopolitical risks and supply disruption concerns.

The Nifty 50 snapped its five-day losing streak on January 12, rising 0.4%, supported by strong buying interest at lower levels and positive cues from favourable comments on a potential trade deal by the U.S. Ambassador. The formation of a Piercing Line pattern has raised hopes of further upside, though experts caution that momentum indicators still need to confirm a sustained bullish trend. On the upside, the 25,950–26,000 zone remains a key resistance area, with a decisive breakout likely to strengthen the bulls’ grip. Until then, markets may continue to trade in a range-bound manner, with immediate support seen at 25,600, experts noted. Globally, Wall Street futures edged lower after the S&P 500 and Dow Jones closed at record highs overnight, as investors looked past concerns over the Fed’s independence and awaited key U.S. CPI inflation data. Asian markets traded higher, led by a sharp 3% rally in Japan’s Nikkei on hopes of snap elections, while GIFT Nifty signals a positive start for Indian equities. IT bellwether TCS kicked off the Q3 earnings season with a steady performance, as revenue and margins came in largely in line with expectations, though net profit declined nearly 12% due to a one-time impact. Meanwhile, HCL Technologies delivered a better-than-expected showing, beating estimates on most parameters and raising the lower end of its full-year revenue growth guidance to above 4%. The performance of both IT majors was impacted by the implementation of new labour codes, which weighed on costs during the quarter.
