Politics is turning out to be as volatile as the market. President Trump signalled a 5-day halt to attacks on Iran and talked about ‘productive’ talks with the Iranian leadership. Immediately Iran’s foreign ministry denied this. Later they acknowledged that there are attempts to ‘get diplomacy going’ through the mediation of some countries.

Brent crude crashed by 10% to $100 levels on news of positive initiatives to end the hostilities. The market, it appears, is factoring in an end to the war as reflected in the August US oil futures trading at $80. However, in the near-term there will be excessive volatility in response to news regarding the war and events on the war front.

A major drag on the market now is the huge selling by FIIs despite the sharp correction in the market. The continuing weakness in the rupee is the main factor behind this sustained selling by FIIs. Therefore, if some sort of stability is to emerge in the market, rupee should stabilize first.

IT and pharmaceutical segments are likely to remain resilient assisted by rupee depreciation.

Gold, silver plunge over 20% in March so far, worst fall in 45 years; enter bear market territory

Aakash Shah, Technical Research Analyst, Choice Broking

Indian equity markets are expected to open on a positive to gap-up note on Tuesday, supported by firm indications from GIFT Nifty, which is signaling a strong rebound after the sharp sell-off seen in the previous session.

Positive cues from Asian markets and short-covering at lower levels could aid early recovery, though volatility is likely to remain elevated due to ongoing global uncertainties.

In the previous session, benchmark indices witnessed significant selling pressure amid global risk-off sentiment. The Nifty 50 declined sharply by 601 points (2.6%) to close at 22,512, while the BSE Sensex dropped 1,836 points (2.46%) to settle at 72,696. The fall was largely driven by geopolitical tensions, rising crude oil prices, and continued foreign fund outflows, which weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50 has slipped below key short-term support levels and is now trading in a weak zone. Immediate resistance is placed near 22,650–22,700, and any pullback towards this range may face selling pressure. On the downside, support is seen around 22,300–22,400, and a breach below this could extend the correction further in the near term.

Overall, the market setup suggests a pullback or relief rally after a sharp correction, but the broader trend remains cautious due to global headwinds.

Traders are advised to adopt a sell-on-rise or stock-specific approach, focusing on risk management. Key sectors to watch include banking, oil-sensitive stocks, and defensives, while volatility-driven moves may dominate the session ahead.

Gaurav Udani, Founder - ThinCredBlu Securities

Nifty is expected to open with a sharp gap-up around the 22,850 mark, up nearly 350 points, indicating a relief bounce after recent selling pressure.

From a technical perspective, the index is likely to face resistance in the 23,000–23,100 zone, where supply may emerge on any further upside. Given the recent volatility, traders should avoid chasing the gap-up move and instead wait for retracements to consider fresh buying opportunities, with strict stop-loss discipline.

Today being weekly expiry, volatility is expected to remain elevated due to derivatives positioning, which could lead to sharp intraday swings.

Traders should remain cautious and focus on disciplined execution rather than aggressive positioning.

Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities

On the first trading session of the week, the domestic benchmark index Nifty witnessed yet another sharp gap-down opening, largely driven by heightened global uncertainty following the escalation of geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. The negative sentiment persisted throughout the session, with sustained selling pressure keeping the index firmly in the red for the entire day. Finally, the Nifty ended near 22500 mark, settling with a steep decline of 2.60%. Notably, this marked the lowest closing level since April 2025, and the index formed a long and sizeable bearish candle, clearly reflecting strong downside momentum and risk aversion among market participants.

From a broader perspective, the ongoing correction has been both sharp and time-compressed. From its all-time high, the Nifty is now down by over 14%, with this decline unfolding in just 52 trading sessions, making it one of the steepest falls witnessed in recent periods. Technically, the structure remains weak, as all key moving averages are positioned above the current price, and momentum-based indicators continue to signal strong bearish bias, offering little evidence of near-term stabilization.

Going ahead, the zone of 22650–22680 will act as an immediate hurdle for the Nifty. As long as the index trades below 22680, the bearish bias is likely to persist, with downside potential towards 22350, followed by 22200 in the short term. However, a decisive move above 22680 could lead to a recovery towards the next resistance at 22850, though such a move may remain corrective unless sustained.

Nifty50 Today | Dollar nurses losses as markets weigh Trump delay in Iran strikes

The dollar nursed steep losses against major currencies on Tuesday in a wild start to the week after U.S. President Donald Trump delayed the bombing of Iran's power grid, a move that allayed fear of a prolonged war in the Middle East.

Sterling eased 0.5% to $1.33925 after jumping nearly 1% on Monday, while the euro was down 0.2% at $1.1593 after gaining 0.4% in the previous trading session.

The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of peers, rose nearly 0.2% to 99.35 after dipping to near a two-week low on Monday.

Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities

After showing minor bounce back amidst volatility on Friday, Nifty witnessed another day of bloodbath on Monday and closed the day lower by 601 points. After gap down opening, the market slipped into further weakness and later range bound action for better part of the session. An attempt of bounce back has failed to sustain and Nifty eventually closed near the lows.

A long bear candle was formed on the daily chart with gap down opening. The bearish pattern like lower tops and bottoms continued on the daily chart and present weakness could be in line with the new lower bottom of the sequence. But, there is no confirmation of any lower bottom reversal forming at the lows yet.

The underlying trend of the market continues to be down. Nifty is currently placed at the edge of the support at 22500 (previous opening upside gap of 11 April 2025). Hence, further weakness from here could drag Nifty down to next crucial lower supports of 22000-21800 levels in the near term. Immediate resistance is now placed at 22700-22800 levels.
