Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What caused the market to fall after an early-day rally?
After a morning recovery from a gap-down opening, the market reversed its course due to sustained selling pressure, particularly from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). The indices, after making new day highs, consistently formed 'lower highs and lower lows' throughout the afternoon, indicating that sellers were gaining control and liquidating positions. This push-back from the top suggests a lack of conviction among buyers at higher levels.
What does the 'inverted hammer' candle on BankNifty's daily chart signify?
An inverted hammer is a candlestick pattern that typically appears after a decline. The large upper shadow indicates that buyers tried to push the price up, but sellers immediately rejected the higher price, forcing the close near the day's low. This pattern suggests a potential reversal or a temporary pause in the downtrend, but it also highlights the strong selling pressure at higher levels. It's a sign of a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, with sellers ultimately winning the day.
Why were DIIs net buyers today despite the FII sell-off?
DIIs were strong net buyers with a net value of over ₹11,000 crores, effectively countering the heavy selling pressure from FIIs. This divergence is a continuing trend where domestic institutions, including mutual funds and insurance companies, are stepping in to buy during market dips. This action provides a critical cushion and demonstrates the strong underlying domestic liquidity and confidence, preventing a sharper correction.
