Equity market wrapped up the week on a negative note after a volatile trading session on Friday. The BSE Sensex slipped 588.90 points, or 0.74%, to close at 79,212.53, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 207.35 points, or 0.86%, settling at 24,039.35. Weak global cues, profit booking in heavyweight stocks, contributed to the day's decline, capping off a choppy week for investors.
Indian stock market started the Friday's session on choppy note and continued to remain volatile during the first half of the trading session today.
Earlier, Sensex touched an intraday high of 80,130.66, however, later fell more than 1000 points. Whereas, Nifty 50 soared to hit an high of 24,365.45, but later fell below 23,900. Bank Nifty, on the other hand, dipped nearly 265 points. A mixed trend was recorded in sectoral indices, with strong rally in IT stocks.
Companies like Reliance Industries, Maruti Suzuki, Hindustan Zinc, RBL Bank, Shriram Finance, Tata Tech, Tejas Network, and VST will be in focus for its upcoming Q4 results which are scheduled for April 25th.
In the previous session, Indian market halted their 7-days winning streak with Sensex ending at 79,801.43, down by 315.06 points or 0.39%. While Nifty 50 finished at 82.25 points or 0.34% to 24,246.70.
As per Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, Indian equities took a breather after a 7-day rally, with Nifty50 ending 82 points lower at 24,247(-0.3%); as investor sentiments turned cautious amid mixed global cues. Profit booking was seen in some of the index heavyweights, which contributed to the decline in the benchmark indices. Both Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 managed to end on a flat note. Among the sectoral indices, Realty and FMCG were among the top laggards, shedding over 1% each. FMCG stocks declined following weaker-than-expected margin guidance from HUL, though the Q4 numbers were largely in line for the FMCG companies that have declared results so far. On the other hand, Nifty Pharma was up 1%; while Healthcare and Metal indices closed marginally higher. FII buying continued for the sixth consecutive day with inflows of ~Rs3,300 crores on Wednesday, supporting the market sentiment.

Market Outlook By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments
There are tailwinds and headwinds for the market now. A strong tailwind is the sustained FII buying which has touched a cumulative amount of Rs 29513 crores during the last 7 days. This is a total reversal of the momentum trade to US stocks when the dollar was strengthening. Since FII buying is likely to sustain bears will restrain from shorting the market. Another tailwind is US Treasury Secretary Scot Bessent’s remark that “ India is expected to strike the first bilateral trade deal with the US.” US also is keen to strike as many deals as possible since China’s response to US initiatives has been indifferent. The resilience of the India economy can continue to support the market. The potential headwind looming large on the horizon is the uncertainty regarding India’s response to the terror attack and its consequences.

Nifty Prediction By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments
An inverted hammer has now followed two days of indecision that also had reversal candlestick patterns. Meanwhile, we were looking for a sharp swing to 24500 yesterday, should 24050 hold, but momentum went missing, restricting Nifty to the vicinity of 24250. But hopes of the same remains alive today as well, as 96% of the Nifty constituents closed above previous low, pointing towards bargain hunting expecting continuation of uptrend. The 24600-850 region that challenged December's upmove, will be in eyeline now. Alternatively, inability to push above 24500 or a direct pull back below 24250 will confirm weakness that oscillators have begun to show, but it would require a break below 24050, inorder to prompt us to look at a move down to 23670.

Market Live Updates: Technical Outlook For Sensex On April 25
Sensex continues to hover between a very narrow range, some time between the 79500 and 80000 zone, with the 200 DMA at the 79100 level sustained as of now, which is a positive sign for a fresh upward move in the coming days. We continue to maintain our stance, as said earlier; only a decisive move past the 80400 zone shall confirm a breakout above the 61.8% retracement level on the daily chart, which shall establish conviction for further rise in the coming days.
