Sensex down by over 400 points; Nifty holds 11,200

Sectorally, the S&P BSE Healthcare index rose 2.1 percent, S&P BSE Metal index was up 0.98 percent and the telecom index closed with gains of 0.69 percent.

 

The bears took control of D-Street on July 29, pushing benchmark indices towards the crucial support levels. The S&P BSE Sensex fell more than 400 points but managed to hold on to the 38,000 level while the Nifty held on to 11,200 level.

The S&P BSE Sensex fell 421 points to end the day at 38,071 while the Nifty50 ended 97 points lower at 11,202.

Profit booking after the recent rally, US Fed meeting, a rise in coronavirus cases and mixed earnings capped the upside, experts say.



"Indian indices gave up gains and closed in the negative with profit-booking seen in the recent outperformer RIL,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial told Moneycontrol.

Global markets were undecided ahead of the US Fed Reserve meeting. Mixed earnings reports and rising virus cases forcing economies to reconsider restrictions also weighed on sentiment.

“Stock-specific action was also visible, post-earnings results and this trend is expected to continue. Adequate liquidity in the market should ensure that these corrections are bought into,” Nair said.

Sectorally, action was seen in healthcare, metal, telecom, and capital goods while selling pressure was visible in energy, auto, and oil & gas space.

The broader markets outperformed the benchmarks. The S&P BSE Midcap index rose 0.68 percent while the S&P BSE Smallcap index closed with gains of 0.43 percent .

Top Nifty gainers included Tata Steel, IndusInd Bank and Dr Reddy’s Laboratories.

Top Nifty losers included M&M, HCL Technologies, Nestle India and RIL.

Technical View

The Nifty formed a bearish candle on the daily chart. It bounced back from 5-Days EMA placed at 11,189

The Nifty surpassed the previous day’s high of 11,317 but in the absence of buying, took the index to retest the low of 11,150.

The Nifty is stuck in a range between 11050 and 11350 and requires a decisive breakout with follow-up action to commence the next leg of rally, Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited said.

“Now, it has to continue to hold 11,150 zone to extend its move towards 11,350 then 11,500 zones while on the downside, key support exists at 11,050 levels,” he said.
