Vaishali Parekh Identifies Three Stocks for Potential Intraday Gains on 16 March 2026.
Indian Stock Market Update
Market Overview The Indian stock market ended the week under significant corrective pressure due to deteriorating global risk sentiment, rising crude oil prices, and persistent selling by foreign institutional investors. This led to a sharp shift in global risk appetite, resulting in broad-based profit-taking across sectors and a steep weekly decline.
Global Market Sentiment The intensification of the US-Iran conflict and surging energy prices triggered a reduction in global investors' exposure to emerging markets, resulting in notable capital outflows from Indian equities. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained aggressive net sellers, recording total outflows of ₹35,053 crore during the week.
Domestic Buying Interest However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong counterbalancing support, recording net purchases of ₹37,740 crore. This domestic buying interest helped absorb a substantial portion of the foreign selling pressure and prevented the correction from deepening further.
Market Outlook According to Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, the undertone of the Indian stock market has turned weak. The Nifty 50 index would need a decisive move past the 24,400 zone to establish conviction and clarity.
Key Support Zones Parekh highlighted the following key support zones for the Nifty 50 index:
- 22,800
- 22,000
Bank Nifty Index Outlook The Bank Nifty index has lost almost 1400 points and is approaching the previous major low made at 53,500 zone, which is the crucial and major support zone to be watched for in the coming sessions.
