Share Market Today | Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, Share Prices, Stock Market News Highlights Friday, January 27

16:27 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 FIIs’ cautious stance ahead of the Union Budget fuelled today’s collapse

“The sharp slump in the Indian market was triggered by an unfavourable research report on Asia’s richest promoter group companies. This is also affecting the banking stocks even though the results of the sector are optimistic due to high group lending, indicating potential risk. PSU banks are the most impacted compared to private banks owing to high exposure. The FIIs’ cautious stance ahead of the Union Budget and FOMC meetings also fuelled the collapse.” – Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

16:25 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 Today’s low of 17,493 a key support for Nifty

“The Nifty started the week on a positive note however witnessed steep selling pressure in the second half of the week. As a result, it broke down from the consolidation range, which it was witnessing for the last month. It broke the support zone of 17800-17760, which will now act as resistance as per the principle of role reversal. On the downside, the Nifty has halted near the 61.8% retracement of the Sept – Dec 2022 rise & 200 DEMA, which are near 17550. Today’s low of 17493 will be a key support. If that is breached then the decline can continue till 17300.” – Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

16:24 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 Nifty resistance visible at 17850; 17400 likely to provide immediate support

“The index has fallen below recent consolidation on the daily chart, leading to a big sell-off from foreign institutions. However, the 50-week exponential moving average, located at 17400, is likely to provide immediate support. A further correction may be seen if the index falls below 17400. On the other hand, resistance is visible at 17850. As long as the Nifty remains below 17850, traders may favour a sell on rise strategy.” – Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

16:22 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 Bank Nifty to remain under selling pressure in short term

“Bank Nifty had fallen below the critical support level of 41,800, leading to a quick drop towards 40,000. Besides, the index has sustained below the crucial moving average of 50 EMA. The RSI is in a bearish crossover and falling. Over the short term, the index may remain under selling pressure. On the lower end, support is visible at 40,000; whereas on the higher end, resistance is visible at 40800.” – Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

16:21 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 Below 17,493 Nifty could extend fall towards next support of 17,350

“Indian benchmark equity gauges Sensex and Nifty hit their over three-month lows on Friday, dragged by massive selling mainly in Adani group and banking stocks. It was mayhem on Dalal Street for the second day running, with today’s fall being sharper than the one seen on Thursday. Adani shares were in the line of the fire following the Hindenburg report accusing the group of serious irregularities.  Eight listed companies of the Adani conglomerate – controlled by Gautam Adani lost more than 3 Lakh Cr market capitalization on Friday. Dalal Street returned to trade after the Republic Day market holiday amid largely positive moves across other global markets after data showing slowing GDP growth in the US took away some of the concerns about a recession and rekindled hopes of less aggressive hikes in interest rates. Nifty breached its 200 DEMA support of 17,750 in the intraday session. Nifty has closed below the crucial support of 17,761, which happened to be the multiple bottom support in the last 6 weeks. Now from here, previous support of 17,761 is expected to interchange its role as a short-term resistance. Above 17,761, resistance for Nifty is seen at 18,000. Below 17,493, Nifty could extend its fall towards the next support of 17,350. ” – Devarsh Vakil, Deputy  Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities.

16:18 (IST) 27 Jan 2023 Markets to stabilize over the next few trading days

“Indian markets witnessed a fresh bout of selling today on the back of market participants evaluating the impact of the recently released report by US short-seller Hindenburg Research on Adani Group. The corporate houses with heavy leverage and/or expensive valuations were hit the most during this sell-off. We expect markets to stabilize over the next few trading days as we expect bargain hunters to emerge and start picking good quality stocks with a history of free cash flow generation and which are available at reasonable valuations. Some part of India’s underperformance vis-à-vis global markets off late can be explained by the huge outperformance by India last year, and thus markets attempting to revert back to the mean. However, we believe that India remains the fastest growing major economy globally and should continue to attract foreign capital in the medium to long term, which should bode well for Indian markets.” – Nishit Master, Portfolio Manager, Axis Securities.
