The Indian stock market continued to feel the pressure of the ongoing US-Iran conflict on Monday, March 9, with investor sentiment weakening further amid a sharp rise in crude oil prices. The depreciating domestic currency and continued outflows from foreign investors pushed the benchmark indices to a 10-month low.

Nifty 50 and Sensex Decline

The Nifty 50 tumbled 1.86% to 23,994, while the Sensex declined 1.77% to 77,521. At one stage during the session, both indices had fallen by nearly 3%.

The Bank Nifty began the session on a weak note, opening with a gap-down of nearly 1,650 points. The index extended its decline during the early part of the session and touched an intraday low of 55,270. Later, a partial recovery was observed, allowing the index to trim some losses before finally closing at 56,019.80, marking an overall decline of 1,763 points (3.05%).

Technical Analysis

According to Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, the 24,200–24,250 zone is now emerging as an immediate resistance level for the Nifty 50. On the downside, a strong support base is seen in the 23,900–23,950 range. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 28.89, indicating that the market is currently in deeply oversold territory, which may increase the probability of a short-term technical rebound.
