Nifty Overview & Outlook

The benchmark index Nifty experienced varied performances from leading stocks during the quarter, leading to uncertainty throughout the trading day. Reliance Industries and Wipro reported Q1 results below expectations, causing the Nifty index to open lower. However, HDFC Bank’s stronger-than-expected results refrained a sustained downward trend, resulting in a volatile session. Additionally, conservative economic growth forecasts for FY 2025 in the Economic Survey and jitters ahead of Budget announcement, added to the volatility. The Nifty closed flat to negative, while the Bank Nifty ended flat to positive.

Conversely, the broader market showed strong gains, with both the Midcap and Smallcap indices closing 1.3% and 1% higher, respectively. Nifty Auto, Pharma, and Metal sectors surged over 1% each, while Nifty Realty and Media sectors were the underperformers, closing nearly half a percent down. Overall market breadth remained positive, with A/D ratio of more than 2:1, as 351 stocks advanced and 148 declined.

Technically, the daily chart indicated a Bearish Engulfing pattern, although Nifty closed above Friday’s low with a green candle. Thereby, if the bounce back continues potential resistances are placed at 24660 and 24850 in case of renewed buying interest. However, the green candle was not significant and hence, if Thursday’s correction continues then we hold potential support zone of 24400-24360 followed by 24140 which is a reversal point. With the upcoming Budget day expected to bring volatility, market participants are expected to be prepared for further fluctuations.
