Short term Chart

Indian equity markets opened sharply lower today, with a cautious tone prevailing as rising crude oil prices amid renewed tensions surrounding the U.S.-Iran conflict weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The weakness has been broad-based, with selling pressure visible across major sectors and the broader market, intensifying downside pressure on domestic benchmarks.

Crude oil remains a key concern, with WTI crude trading around the $94-per-barrel mark. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee is showing some weakness but remains within its recent trading range, currently around the ?95.90-per-dollar level. Persistent oil-price pressures and foreign fund outflows remain key factors influencing the currency.

Gold fell more than 2% in early trade, while silver declined even more sharply, as rising oil prices amid the unresolved Strait of Hormuz standoff reinforced existing inflation concerns and strengthened expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes. Market pricing now points to a roughly 66% probability of another rate hike in October, following this month’s increase in the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%. Higher bond yields and elevated oil prices are weighing on non-yielding bullion.

On the geopolitical front, uncertainty remains elevated as tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to weigh on global risk sentiment. Any further escalation could keep crude prices elevated and increase volatility across both global and domestic financial markets. 

Technical View

Nifty 50

Nifty 50 opened with a mild gap-down and came under intensified selling pressure in early trade, slipping below the crucial 23,300 psychological level. The weak opening indicates that sellers remain active at higher levels, keeping the near-term technical structure under pressure. On the upside, the 23,100–23,200 zone is likely to act as the immediate resistance band. A sustained move above 23,200 could provide some relief and support a recovery toward the 23,300–23,400 region. However, continued trading below this resistance band would leave the index vulnerable to further selling pressure.

On the downside, 22,800 remains the crucial support level to watch. A decisive break below the 22,800–22,700 region could intensify selling pressure and expose the index to lower levels. Momentum indicators have weakened further, with the RSI hovering around the 30 mark, indicating that momentum remains firmly subdued and close to oversold territory. The broader technical structure also remains weak, with the index continuing to trade below key moving averages. Overall, the opening technical outlook has turned more bearish.

Bank Nifty

Bank Nifty opened with a gap-down near the 55,348 mark, underperforming the broader market amid heightened selling pressure across banking stocks. The index weakened significantly at the opening, and sustaining above the 55,300–55,400 region will be important to stabilize the near-term structure. On the upside, the 55,300–55,400 zone is likely to act as the immediate resistance area. A sustained move above this band could provide some relief and support a recovery toward the previous higher trading range. However, unless the index decisively reclaims this zone, recovery attempts are likely to remain vulnerable to selling pressure.

On the downside, 54,700 remains the crucial support level to watch. A decisive break below 54,700 could intensify selling pressure and drag the index toward the 54,300–54,000 support region. Momentum indicators have weakened significantly, with the RSI declining toward the 31–33 zone and approaching oversold territory. This reflects strong near-term selling pressure, although an oversold RSI could also allow for intermittent relief rallies if buying interest emerges. Overall, the near-term technical outlook remains cautious to bearish. Holding above 54,700 will be important to prevent further deterioration, while a sustained recovery above 55,400 would be required to improve the immediate technical structure.
