Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Market selloff led by subdued earnings, continuous selloff by FIIs

Indian benchmark indices saw a sharp decline on Friday, with the Nifty50 dropping over 300 points and the Sensex falling around 900 points. This market selloff was primarily driven by disappointing quarterly earnings, continuous selloff from foreign investors and a notable breach of the key 100-day EMA in both indices.

The decline below the 100-day EMA, observed a few days prior, intensified the selloff, triggering short-term traders to exit their positions. Additionally, several key oscillators began to signal bearish divergence, suggesting mounting technical headwinds. We cannot rule out the possibilities of further price corrections in the near term.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: A decisive break below 24,000 could worsen Nifty50's outlook

Markets resumed their downtrend after a two-day pause, shedding nearly 1 per cent. Following a flat opening, Nifty gradually declined throughout the session, although a slight bounce in the last hour helped trim some losses. Ultimately, it closed at 24,180, down by 0.90 per cent. Key sectors such as metals, autos, and energy were among the hardest hit, with broader indices also declining by almost 2 per cent each.

 

The index’s movement reflects that bears are still in control, and a decisive break below 24,000 could worsen the outlook. In the event of a rebound, 24,500 will now serve as a strong resistance level. Traders should maintain a “sell on rise” strategy, as most sectors and broader indices remain under pressure. Focus should remain on earnings and Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) flows for further cues.
