For the fifth day in a row, India’s major indices closed lower, with the Sensex down about 0.7% and the Nifty slipping 0.75%. The drop was driven by fresh worries over U.S. tariffs, cautious earnings expectations, and continued foreign fund outflows.
Market Recap
The Sensex finished at 83,576.24, a fall of 605 points. The Nifty ended at 25,683.30, down 194 points. Mid‑cap stocks dropped 0.90% and small‑caps fell 1.74%.
Technical Outlook
Analysts see the next support for the Nifty around the 25,500‑25,600 range. If the index holds there, a bounce toward the 26,000‑26,200 zone is possible. However, resistance is expected near 26,300‑26,500, which could limit upside until tariff news clarifies.
For Bank Nifty, the key support sits near 59,000. Resistance lies around 60,000‑60,500, with a stronger hurdle at 61,000. Staying above these levels keeps the broader banking structure intact.
