Stock Market Today: The domestic stock market indices closed lower on Monday, extending its losing streak. The domestic indices closed in the red for the seventh consecutive session as the Q2 earnings season comes to an end. The Nifty 50 index closed 0.34 per cent lower after Monday’s session at 23,453.80 points, compared to 23,532.70 points at the previous market close.
The BSE Sensex index closed 0.31 per cent lower at 77,339.01 points, compared to 77,580.31 points in the previous trading session.
“With Q2 earning season coming to a close and FII selling continuing, we expect Nifty to consolidate within a broad range due to the absence of any positive trigger,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal.
Trade Setup for Tuesday
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C Mehta said, “Nifty opened on a positive tone, but continuous selling pressure dampened sentiments, and index settled the day on a negative note at 23,454 levels. India VIX’s volatility index surged by 2.65% to 15.17, indicating a rise in market volatility.”
“Technically, the index on a daily scale has formed a red candle, indicating weakness. Furthermore, the index has decisively broken its 200-Days exponential moving average (DEMA) support level of roughly 23,540. Thus, 23,540-23,550 will be an immediate barrier for the index. On the downside, the 50-weekly Simple moving average (WSMA) is placed near 23,300 levels, serving as short-term support for the index. Overall, the short-term trend is down, but we expect theindex to consolidate in the narrow band of 23,300-23,600,” said the stock market expert.
“The Bank Nifty opened positively, maintained bullish momentum despite volatility, and concluded the day positively at 50,364 levels. Technically, the index on a daily scale has formed a small green candle and successfully defended the 200-Days exponential moving average (DEMA), indicating strength. The 200-DEMA support is placed near 49,910. If the index respects 49,900, it could see a pullback towards 50,500-50,600 levels, where the short-term trendline resistance is placed. If the index is above 50,600 levels, the relief rally could extend to 51,000 levels. Overall, the short-term trend is down, but as long as the Bank Nifty holds above 49,900, a pullback rally could be possible,” said Yedve.
US Dollar
The US dollar, which is measured as the currency against a basket of six other currencies, was down 0.23 per cent to 106.48, trading just under its 52-week high of 107.07. The dollar strengthened 0.36 per cent against the Japanese Yen to 154.9 on Monday.
