#Nifty50 Market Update: A Week of Volatility and Uncertainty The #Nifty50 closed at 23,519, marking a 170-point rise from last week's close, after hitting a high of 23,869 and a low of 23,412. As anticipated last week, once Nifty managed to sustain above the crucial 23,300 level, it surged to a high of 23,869, before retracing to close at 23,519. However, this week’s market candle formed a Dragonfly Doji, indicating that bears continue to hold control, as concerns over the financial year-end and the looming uncertainty of Trump's new tariff policy, set to take effect on April 2, dampened market sentiment. With the market facing such pressure, it's crucial to consider the potential volatility for next week, as the market will be truncated due to the Eid holiday on Monday. As a result, Nifty could trade within a broad range of 24,000 to 23,000. For the next phase of an uptrend, Nifty must hold above 24,000, after which it could test higher levels of 24,200, 24,414 (a key Fibonacci level), and possibly 24,600. Looking at the broader market trends, the monthly time frame remains bearish, while the weekly is slightly bullish and the daily trend is bullish. If favorable conditions align, we may begin to see upward movement in Nifty and other indices by mid-April, though in the interim, we’ll likely need to weather the storm and remain patient with the bearish sentiment. S&P 500 Market Update: Testing Critical Support Levels The S&P 500 closed at 5,580, down about 90 points from the previous week's close, hitting a low of 5,572. With the index closing near its weekly low, it suggests downward pressure may persist into the next week, with potential support levels at 5,550 and 5,458 (another key Fibonacci level). A test of these levels could put additional strain on Indian markets as well, amplifying volatility. Overall, the market remains in a precarious position, and investors should brace for potential swings until more clarity emerges, especially with the geopolitical and policy risks at play.

Market Update: Nifty Faces Bearish Pressure, 17-21st feb Nifty closed at 22,929 this week, marking a decline of 630 points from the previous week's close. The index reached a high of 23,568 and a low of 22,774. As highlighted in my previous post, the bearish sentiment in Nifty remains intact, as both the monthly and weekly timeframes show negative trends. Until there is a significant reversal on these timeframes, the bearish outlook is expected to continue. Looking ahead to next week, I anticipate Nifty will move within a range of 23,450 to 22,400 . The 22,300/22,400 zone offers strong support, and if this level is breached, we could see Nifty heading towards the 21,800 levels. Given this volatility, Nifty might not be the ideal index for small investors, particularly those heavily invested in mid and small-cap stocks. Let’s now take a closer look at the mid-cap and small-cap indices. The Mid-Cap Index is currently near its key support level of 48,700 on the monthly chart. If it manages to hold this support next week, a potential reversal could follow, offering some relief to investors. On the other hand, the Small-Cap Index is still far from its crucial support of 14,500, which suggests that we could witness further downside of 4-5% in this segment . This could add more pressure on small-cap stocks, which are already facing a tough environment. On a global front, the S&P 500 has finally broken through the strong resistance at 6,100 and closed above this level. If it manages to sustain above 6,100, we could see it reach 6,225 or even 6,376. This could potentially provide some tailwinds for the Indian markets, but for now, it seems that the Indian market remains under the tight grip of bearish forces. In conclusion, while there are some signs of potential recovery in specific indices, the overall sentiment remains cautious. Investors should stay vigilant, especially in mid and small-cap segments, as the road ahead could be bumpy.

#nifty50 Week ahead, 3-7th Feb 2025The Nifty ended the week at 23,482, up nearly 400 points from last Friday’s close, with a high of 23,632 and a low of 22,786. With Saturday's budget announcement and tax break news, all eyes will be on Monday, which could be a game-changer. The new tax slabs will bring relief to many in the middle class, but institutional investors are carefully assessing its impact on the broader market. Monday’s closing could give us a clearer picture of how they’re positioning themselves, making it a critical day to watch. Looking ahead, I anticipate Nifty may trade within the range of 24,000 to 22,950 next week. However, the weekly and monthly charts are still in a bearish phase, and until we see a shift toward a bullish trend on at least a weekly timeframe, the best approach remains to "sell on rallies." Meanwhile, the S&P 500 closed at 6,040, about 60 points lower than last week. It tried to break through the strong resistance at 6,100 but couldn’t manage it. The weekly chart suggests a potential "W" pattern, but for that to play out, the index may need to drop and test support levels of 5,880-5,850. If that happens, it could trigger selling pressure on global markets, including India. It’s going to be a crucial week ahead—prepare for a potentially volatile market environment!

#Nifty50 Market Update: A Week of Weakness and What Lies Ahead This week, Nifty closed at 23,203, down by 228 points from the previous week's close. It touched a high of 23,391 and a low of 23,047, reflecting a volatile yet cautious market sentiment. The candlestick pattern for the week is indicative of weak market sentiment, signaling growing bearish pressure. As highlighted last week, the market saw a bounce used by institutional players to offload their positions, leading to a sharp pullback. The Nifty was confined within the range of 23,950 to 22,900, as anticipated. Looking ahead, I expect Nifty to continue oscillating between 23,750 and 22,700 in the coming week. From a monthly perspective, the market remains in a selling phase, and until either the monthly or weekly timeframes shift into the buying zone, or Nifty tests key support levels near 22,400/22,300, the bears will likely maintain control. S&P500 Update: Recovery with Caution Over in the US, the S&P 500 has bounced back from the lows of 5,773 and closed just below the critical Fibonacci resistance level of 6,013. If the index manages to stay above 6,013 next week, we could see it testing higher resistance levels around 6,100. However, expect potential selling pressure to kick in on Monday, and if the index dips below 5,900, it could test key support levels at 5,821, 5,773, or even 5,700. Bottom Line: Brace for Volatility Ahead In conclusion, selling pressure is expected to persist in the markets for the time being. Traders should prepare for a bumpy ride as we navigate through these volatile conditions. Stay alert, manage risk, and keep an eye on critical support and resistance levels.
