Market in Previous Session:
On October 24, 2024, the Sensex and Nifty closed with minimal movement after a fluctuating session.
FMCG and IT sectors saw profit booking after previous gains, while selective buying in private banking and financial stocks provided some market stability following earlier corrections.
At the close of the October 24, 2024 session, the Sensex declined by 16 points, or 0.02%, ending at 80,065, while the Nifty slipped 36 points, or 0.2%, to finish at 24,399.
Market sentiment has been under pressure due to several challenges.
1) Disappointing Q2 earnings,
2) Persistent selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are key contributors.
3) Uncertainty surrounding the timing of US interest rate cuts, the upcoming US election, and rising US bond yields have added to investor anxiety.
Together, these factors have made it difficult for the markets to maintain a positive trajectory.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index has formed a doji candlestick after continuous selling pressure indicating indecisiveness or a temporary pause. Recent market activity has been characterized by weakness, with Nifty falling below the crucial support level of 24,700.
Nifty has recently generated a breakdown below the 11-session trading range (24700-25250), highlighting corrective bias and extension of decline towards 24250 levels in the coming sessions, being the measuring implication of the last 11-session range.
For the Nifty 50 to indicate a halt in the current downtrend, it must consistently form higher highs and higher lows. Failure to do so would maintain a bearish outlook, with resistance around 24,700–24,800. On the downside, immediate support is positioned at 24,300–24,250, while the more significant short-term support lies between 24,000 and 23,800, which corresponds to the low reached in August 2024.
