Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What caused the rapid sell-off in the last trading session?
The sharp decline in the final trading session was likely driven by a combination of factors, including profit-booking at higher levels and a lack of sustained buying support. The indices had a brief rally in the morning but were unable to maintain momentum, leading to a late-day correction that saw prices fall rapidly, especially as traders squared off positions before the close.
What does the VIX increase and the breaking of yesterday's 'Marubozu' candle low on BankNifty signify?
The VIX rise indicates an increase in market volatility and uncertainty, a direct reflection of today's price swings. For BankNifty, breaking the low of yesterday's strong 'Marubozu green candle' is a significant bearish signal. It invalidates the strong bullish momentum suggested by the previous day's candle and indicates a 'confused market state' where bulls and bears are fighting for control. This suggests that the bullish conviction is not as strong as it appeared, and the market could be heading for further consolidation or a correction.
What was the significance of FII and DII trading activity today?
The trading data shows that FIIs were net sellers for the day, continuing a recent trend. Meanwhile, DIIs were net buyers, providing some crucial support to the market. While DII buying helped cushion the fall, it was not strong enough to absorb the significant selling pressure that emerged in the last hour, which was likely a mix of FII selling and domestic profit-booking. This continued divergence between FII and DII activity highlights the ongoing tug-of-war between foreign outflows and domestic liquidity.
