Indian frontline indices ended in the red on Friday, recording their second successive losses amid selling pressure in auto, bank, and FMCG stocks. The BSE Sensex fell by 588.90 points, or 0.74%, to 79,212.53, while the Nifty declined 207.35 points, or 0.86%, to end the day at 24,039.35.
Commenting on the day’s action, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said that the Nifty technical charts show a rise in bearish sentiment as the headline index fell for the second session in a row after a consolidation on the daily chart. “Additionally, the index has fallen below its 200-DMA, signaling a potential re-entry into a bearish trend.
Investor sentiment remains weak, with a clear risk-off approach ahead of the weekend amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan. In the short term, sentiment is likely to continue driving the market trend, with the possibility of the index heading lower. Support on the lower end is placed at 23,800/23,515,” De said.
