MARKET ANALYSIS (NIFTY 50)

 Market Analysis – 31 July 2025 Volatility and volume surged due to intraday trading activity around the monthly expiry, creating misleading market moves. Despite the short-term price action, market sentiment continues to remain bearish. The much-anticipated India–US trade deal remains pending, with geopolitical uncertainty rising as former U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Indian imports—a move that may significantly impact investor sentiment and market flows. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.50% amid inflationary concerns and global trade risks.

Technical Analysis shows the front-end price action, while Data Analysis (DA) provides deeper market context from volumes, FIIs, macroeconomics, and institutional positioning.

 Market Analysis – 30 July 2025 The last two trading sessions have formed weak candlesticks, both technically and on the underlying data front, suggesting a continuation of bearish sentiment in the Indian equity markets. Adding to this pressure, the India–US trade negotiations have taken a sharp negative turn. Former US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs ranging from 20% to 25% on Indian goods. If such a policy is finalized, it would significantly dampen investor sentiment and could lead to capital outflows, particularly from sectors dependent on exports to the US. From a macroeconomic standpoint: - FIIs remain net sellers, indicating sustained cautiousness. - Derivatives data shows weak positioning, with lower open interest on the long side. - Delivery-based buying remains subdued, highlighting the absence of strong conviction among investors. If the trade deal situation worsens, markets could witness heightened volatility, particularly in large-cap...

  Market Commentary – 29th July 2025 Despite a positive closing today, the overall market trend remains bearish. The data does not justify the formation of today’s bullish candle. FIIs continue to remain net sellers with minimal participation, highlighting weak institutional support. Key macroeconomic events are lined up: - The US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is due on 30th July 2025, which may have a significant impact on global markets. - The much-awaited India-US Trade Deal is nearing finalization. If the deal turns out to be favorable for India, it could trigger bullish sentiment across the Indian equity market. Until then, caution is advised as current momentum lacks fundamental backing.

Market Commentary – July 28, 2025 The market continues to reflect a bearish sentiment, with no visible indications of a trend reversal or positive momentum. The Nifty 50 index is trading close to a key support zone, which, if breached, may lead to a wave of panic selling across sectors. Current market data remains weak, suggesting limited participation from institutional and retail investors alike. A significant external factor to monitor is the upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, which could have a material impact on Indian market sentiment. Additionally, the U.S. bond yields are range-bound, indicating global uncertainty and a lack of clear direction in capital flows.

Market Analysis: FIIs Cautious, Market Awaits India-US Trade Clarity The market continues to show signs of weakness as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) maintain a cautious stance. Their participation in the derivatives segment is significantly low, and they remain net sellers, reflecting a lack of confidence in the current market structure. While index movements may seem stable on the surface, a deeper look at volume and delivery data reveals a concerning picture. The absence of strong delivery-based buying indicates that investors are not yet interested in accumulating positions, further confirming bearish undercurrents. Another factor contributing to the hesitation among institutional players is the pending India-US trade deal. This critical macro event holds the potential to influence market direction, and until it is finalized, investors and big players are likely to remain on the sidelines. From a technical perspective, the 24,500 support level has become a cruc...

  Market Commentary – July 24, 2025 Bearish Momentum Persists Amid Uncertainty The formation of a long bearish candle in today’s session reaffirms the prevailing negative sentiment in the Indian equity market. A closer look at the underlying data offers no indication of improvement, with investor participation remaining subdued despite the India VIX staying relatively low at 10.72 — traditionally a sign of market stability. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to be net sellers, further reinforcing the cautious stance among market participants. The spike in volume witnessed today appears largely driven by the weekly derivatives expiry, rather than fresh buying interest. On the global front, U.S. markets continue to trend upward, in contrast to the Indian market, which remains in a "wait and watch" mode. The anticipation around the outcome of the India-U.S. trade agreement is likely contributing to this indecision. Market participants now look ahead to the upco...

  Market Commentary – July 23, 2025 FIIs Continue Selling; Market Rally Lacks Conviction Ahead of Weekly Expiry Despite a bullish candle formation on the charts today, underlying data tells a different story. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers, signaling continued caution in the broader market sentiment. While the indices showed signs of recovery, the lack of strong delivery-based buying and weak participation from institutional players suggest the up move  may not be sustainable. With tomorrow marking the weekly options expiry , volatility is expected to rise. The market may witness a short-term correction if global cues remain muted and FIIs continue their selling streak. Traders are advised to remain cautious, avoid aggressive long positions, and closely track global developments and institutional flow.
