Market Update: Indian Indices Plummet Amid Global Market Sentiment

The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, experienced a significant decline on Thursday, with the Nifty 50 index down 2.34% at 23,221.65 and the BSE Sensex falling 2.45% to 74,862.90.

Key Factors Contributing to the Decline

  • HDFC Bank, the largest private lender in India and the most significant stock in the indices, declined by up to 8.66%, marking its largest intraday drop in more than two years, following the resignation of Atanu Chakraborty as part-time chairman due to disagreements regarding "values and ethics."
  • Rising crude oil prices, which reached $112 per barrel, and a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve further fueled a global market selloff.
  • Other Asian markets fell by 2.3% in response to a sharp decline in Wall Street the previous day.

Market Outlook

According to Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst, Technical & Derivatives, Angel One, the market rebound has extended into a third consecutive session, with prices successfully filling two bearish gaps formed last week, an indication of strengthening bullish momentum.

Technical Analysis

  • The RSI (Smoothened) has generated a fresh buy crossover on the daily chart while remaining in the oversold zone, signalling potential for further upside.
  • The 23,600-23,500 zone is expected to provide immediate support, while the 24,100 level acts as a key resistance.
