Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What caused the sharp fall in the first 20 minutes of trading?
The sharp decline in the first 15-20 minutes was likely due to significant selling pressure from a combination of factors, including global cues and profit-booking. As it was Nifty's expiry day, high volatility and rapid movements are common, and the initial sharp drop set a bearish tone for the entire session.
How did the closing near the day's low affect the market sentiment?
A close near the day's low is a strong bearish signal. It indicates that sellers were in control right until the end of the trading session, and buyers were not able to stage a meaningful recovery. This suggests a lack of buying confidence and could lead to continued bearish sentiment in the next trading session.
What was the significance of DII and FII trading activity today?
FIIs were again significant net sellers, contributing to the overall negative sentiment and pushing the market lower. However, DIIs were strong net buyers, absorbing a large portion of the selling. This action from domestic institutions provided a crucial support layer and prevented an even steeper market crash, highlighting the resilience of domestic investment flow.
