Entry Point

The Indian markets faced significant losses last week, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 dropping over 4%, influenced by the US Federal Reserve’s slower pace of rate cuts. The Nifty’s support is at 23,000, while the Nifty Bank and Sensex also face critical support zones at 49,800 and 77,500 respectively. While the short-term outlook remains bearish, key levels like 23,000 and 49,800 may offer opportunities for a bounce back, with long-term buying potential if these levels hold.

Despite the Fed’s decision to lower interest rates by a quarter point, as anticipated, the projection of fewer rate cuts next year than previously estimated dampened investor sentiment. Nifty’s benchmark index has tumbled nearly 5%, marking its steepest weekly fall since June 2022. This decline has wiped out the gains of the past four weeks.”
