Daily Market Review

Market Status: Uptrend Under Pressure

Benchmark indices remained under pressure through the day impacted by rising trade tensions and falling Asian and other global stock markets. Nifty ended 1.2% lower whereas Sensex was down 1.3%. Nifty Midcap (-1.0%) and Smallcap (-1.3%) also fell in line.

All the sectors ended in the red with Nifty Realty (-2.1%), Pharma (-1.6%), and Auto (-1.3%) being the top losers.

This was the sixth straight session of fall and was accompanied by strong volume. Nifty breached its 50-DMA and also added a distribution day, taking the total count to three. Considering all these factors, we downgraded the market to an Uptrend Under Pressure. We’ll further downgrade the market if the distribution day count increases to more than 5-6.

The advance-decline ratio was in favor of decliners.
