Sensex Climbs Past Day's Low as Value Buying Boosts Recovery; Nifty Holds Key Support Near 24,000

Sensex Climbs Past Day's Low as Value Buying Boosts Recovery; Nifty Holds Key Support Near 24,000​

The benchmark equity indices demonstrated resilience on Tuesday, reversing earlier losses through value buying and crucial technical support. The recovery helped the Sensex regain ground from its lows, while the Nifty maintained a steady position near the pivotal 24,000 mark as traders absorbed market volatility.

As the trading session progressed, buying interest picked up significantly after sharp declines witnessed during early trades. This surge in demand supported a noticeable bounceback across the indices. At 10:50 a.m., the Sensex stood at 77,221.67, showing a recovery of 394.73 points or 0.51 percent from its low. The Nifty traded at 24,119, moving up by 92 points or 0.38 percent.

Factors Driving Market Recovery and Sentiment​

The market's capacity to absorb earlier selling pressure was primarily attributed to focused value buying. Investors actively sought shares at discounted levels following the initial sharp decline in trading volumes. This defensive action provided a solid foundation for the subsequent recovery witnessed by both benchmark indices.

Earlier in the session, the downward trend had been pronounced. The Sensex had previously dipped 614.82 points or 0.79 percent, falling to 77,001.58. Correspondingly, the Nifty decline stood at 172.90 points or 0.71 percent, settling at 24,038.10.

Weekly Expiry and Technical Support Levels​

The trading session was marked by heightened activity due to the weekly expiry of derivative contracts on Tuesday. This type of expiry day naturally leads to increased market volatility. Traders engage in unwinding or rolling over their existing futures and options positions, often resulting in sharp swings in stock prices and benchmark indices later in the day.

Crucially, the Nifty found key technical support near 24,038, which was deemed a vital psychological level for stability. Industry experts highlighted that the range of 24,300 on the upside and 24,000 on the downside remains critically important to short-term market movement.

What Next: Analyst Outlook on Key Breakouts​

Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities, provided a detailed view on potential next steps for the indices. He stated that a decisive breakout above the 24,300 level could propel the Nifty towards 24,530, which represents the previous swing high.

Conversely, he cautioned that any breakdown below the 24,000 support zone would likely trigger a retest of the 23,800 support area. The market's ability to sustain levels above and below these two zones will be critical in defining the immediate trend direction for investors.
