Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: A hold above 23,500 for Nifty could indicate bargain buying

Dalal Street continued its sharp decline as key indices Nifty50 and Sensex fell nearly 2 per cent to begin the week on a weaker note. Nifty prices have now dropped nearly 9.5 per cent from their all-time highs, hitting a five-month low on heavy sell-offs from FIIs which offloaded around 114,445 crore in the cash segment. Investor sentiment has also been strained by weak quarterly earnings and geopolitical uncertainties.

With Indian markets trading at high valuations, these headwinds worked as key catalyst to trigger the ongoing correction. Today's sell-off was driven by several factors, including the US presidential election on November 5, the Federal Reserve’s upcoming monetary policy announcement on November 7, and recent disappointing US nonfarm payrolls data.

Concerns about a potential delay in the US election results have further fueled anxiety among investors. Technically, the market remains well below its 100-day EMA, adding to the bearish outlook. This week will be critical, a hold above 23,500 could indicate bargain buying, while a sustained move above 24,500 may trigger short covering, signaling a possible end to the downtrend. Conversely, a decisive break below the 23,500–23,400 range could push prices further down toward 22,800.
