10 things that will decide Dalal Street action on Thursday
Indian stock market erased most of its intraday gains on Wednesday, with the Sensex recording marginal gains and Nifty slipping into the red, with Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices crashing more than 1% each.
“Domestic equities ended lower amid weak global cues, as investors turned cautious ahead of a key US inflation print likely to influence the Fed’s policy trajectory. Early gains were reversed due to profit booking, while subdued oil prices, despite fresh geopolitical developments, offered limited support. FMCG stocks outperformed on expectations of price hikes, and private banks advanced following the RBI's easing of FCNR(B) and ECB norms, whereas metals lagged due to softer commodity prices. Although domestic bond yields were lower due to steady foreign interest following the recent policy support to debt markets, slowing mutual fund inflows highlighted emerging pressure on equities amid the ongoing geopolitical uncertainties,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research of Geojit Investments.

"After forming an inverted hammer candlestick on the daily chart, Nifty witnessed a recovery from lower levels. However, in Wednesday's session, the index faced strong selling pressure near the 23,400–23,450 zone. The broader trend remains weak as Nifty continues to form lower highs and lower lows. Moreover, the index is consistently trading below its 20-day moving average, indicating that the short-term trend remains under pressure, while RSI remains below the 50 mark, reflecting subdued momentum. Buying interest is visible around the 23,000–23,100 zone, whereas overhead resistance is emerging from the declining short-term moving averages,” said Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
Tech view
According to Vatsal Bhuva from LKP Securities, a range-bound approach is preferred over a directional view. “The expected trading range for Nifty is 23,000–23,550, with 23,200 acting as immediate support, 23,000–23,100 as positional support, and 23,450–23,550 as the key resistance zone,” he added.
“Going ahead, the immediate support for Nifty is placed in the 23050-23000 zone. Any sustainable move below this zone could result in Nifty extending its weakness towards 22850, followed by 22700 in the short term. On the upside, the immediate resistance for Nifty is placed in the 23350-23400 zone,” said SBI Securities.
