SENSEX Market Map

On the back of positive global cues, the Indian indices opened higher on March 25 with Nifty above 23700.

The Sensex was up 374.51 points or 0.48 percent at 78,358.89, and the Nifty was up 100.00 points or 0.42 percent at 23,758.35. About 1845 shares advanced, 471 shares declined, and 123 shares unchanged.

L&T, TCS, Axis Bank, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra were among major gainers on the Nifty, while losers were Dr Reddy’s Labs, Britannia, Hindalco, Tata Steel, SBI Life Insurance.

xThe 5.6% rally in the Nifty from the recent lows has been driven by a combination of factors like FIIs turning buyers (Rs 13765 crores in the last three days), the consequent short-covering and improving macros of the Indian economy. The surge in mid and smallcaps has brought the retail investors aggressively back into the market. Even though the market momentum favours the bulls there is no fundamental support to take the market much higher from the present levels, particularly when President Trump’s Damocles sword of reciprocal tariff is hanging over the head of markets.

IT has been underperforming on fears on US growth slowdown impacting the Indian IT industry. The risk-reward in IT stocks is now favourable for buyers. Trump’s latest message that he will be “flexible” on tariffs and will “give breaks to many countries” has aroused hopes on some softer treatment to India. But we will have to wait till April 2nd.

For the sixth consecutive day, the rally continued, and the Index closed higher at 23,658. With a bullish candle formation on the daily charts, the Index has now entered an overbought territory, nearing its previous swing high of 23,800, which is expected to act as immediate resistance. On the downside, 23,400 will serve as the key supsport level. After such a stellar one-way rally, a pullback is expected to offer the necessary correction. A similar trend was observed in BankNifty as well, which also shows overbought conditions with immediate resistance lies at 52,000, with support at 50,700.

While BankNifty and PSU Banking sectors are still showing strength, most other sectors have formed either DOJI or Spinning Top candlestick patterns, suggesting weakening of the positive momentum. Many of these sectors, along with the Mid and Smallcaps, are also in overbought territory, highlighting the potential for a pullback to create better entry points.
