On Wednesday, the Indian stock market is poised for a downward opening, driven by unfavorable global trends. The early signals from the Gift Nifty suggest a similar negative sentiment, trading around 22,442.50, reflecting a decline of 187.85 points compared to the previous close of Nifty futures. Investors are particularly attentive as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to unveil its monetary policy today, with expectations of a potential cut in the repo rate amid easing inflation and a sluggish economy.

What to Expect from Sensex and Nifty Today

Insights on Sensex

The Sensex’s sharp uptick on Tuesday, registering an increase of 1,089 points, has set the stage for potential further gains. Analysts suggest that a pullback may continue, with 73,500 emerging as a crucial support level. If this threshold is maintained, the index could ascend towards 75,000 and potentially reach 75,200. However, should it fall below 73,500, we might witness an increase in selling pressure, with possible retests of the 73,000 – 72,800 range, according to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities.

Nifty Market Dynamics

The Nifty derivative data reflects a cautious sentiment among investors. There is a notable build-up in call open interest at the 23,000 strike, indicating a formidable resistance level. Conversely, a solid put writing presence at 22,500 suggests a robust support level. Dhupesh Dhameja, a Derivatives Research Analyst at SAMCO Securities, emphasizes the cautious-to-bearish tone prevailing in the market.

Nifty 50 Projections

The Nifty 50’s recent upward momentum has been encouraging, with gains of 374 points noted on April 8. The formation of a high wave candlestick pattern suggests ongoing volatility in the market. Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, indicates that the market could experience a bullish correction towards 22,850 in the near term. Immediate support is identified at 22,270, while the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 22,800 remains a critical resistance point.

Bank Nifty’s Recovery

The Bank Nifty saw an uptick of 1.31%, closing at 50,511, after a decline in previous sessions. This recovery is attributed to crossing the 100-Day EMA around 50,150, hinting at strength in the index. Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd, notes that a sustained move above 50,800 could spark a rally towards the 51,500 – 52,000 levels.

• Sensex Support Level: 73,500; Resistance: 75,200.
• Nifty 50 Immediate Support: 22,270; Resistance: 22,800.
• Bank Nifty Key Resistance: 50,800; Potential for further gains above this level.
