StockEdge Morning Market Report | Friday, 13 March 2026

Nifty 50 closed at 23,639 — down 228 points (-0.95%). The index opened at 23,675, touched an intraday low of 23,556, tried to recover but couldn’t sustain, and closed near the lows of the day — a weak price action structure.
The fall was led by sharp losses in Auto and Financial. Market breadth remained negative.
FII continued to sell of around 7000+ Crs yesterday.

India VIX at 21.52 — fear remains firmly elevated.

US markets had a brutal session — S&P 500 down 1.5% to 6,672, Dow shed 739 points (-1.6%) to 46,677, and Nasdaq fell 1.8% to 22,311. Three consecutive days of losses for Wall Street.

GIFT Nifty is 160+ points down, indicating a weak opening.

Nifty 50
The index is now at fresh multi-month lows and the pattern remains a structured one-way fall. A 2000 point fall from 25600 – 23600 in 10 trading sessions. RSI is deep in oversold territory, but as highlighted repeatedly, oversold can stay oversold in a trending bear market. Stochastics and MACD show no signs of bottoming out. The 23,200 is the level that the index may test. Rallies will not sustain. On the upside, 23700-800 zone will act as immediate resistance, whereas 24300 will act as the ceiling, during any kind of pullback.

With GIFT Nifty pointing weak, the bears remain firmly in control heading into Friday's close.

Bank Nifty closed at 55,101 — down 635 points (-1.14%) — extending its losing run. PSU Banks and Private Banks remain under equal pressure. The 55,000 mark is the immediate psychological support + there is a channel trendline around this area of 55000- 55100— a close below that level could accelerate selling toward 54,500. No base formation visible yet — the index remains one of the primary contributors to the broader market's decline.

Sector Watch

Strong (Relative): Power, PSU, Pharma
Weak: Auto, FMCG, Realty, IT

Conclusion

Heading into the weekend, the macro picture has not improved. The chart is weak, price action is weak, and there are no bottom signals yet. Be light on positions over the weekend as lot of can change overnight based on news. Be extremely selective, keep capital allocation low, and do not attempt to bottom-fish until the charts show a clear signal.

Nifty 50 taking a sharp hit today! 📉

Down ~1.3% to 23,326 (-313 pts) amid ongoing volatility — testing key support around the rising trendline from 2020 lows (~23,639 marked on chart).

From the 2025-26 peak run-up, this pullback is testing patience... but long-term uptrend intact?

Nifty 50: closed at 23,152.90, down 489 points (-2.06%)

Sensex: closed near 74,563, down about 1,470 points (-1.9%)

Bank Nifty: around 54,000, falling roughly 2%+ during the session

Key Reasons for the Decline

Rising crude oil prices near $100 increased inflation concerns.

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East triggered global risk-off sentiment.

Weak global markets and FII selling added pressure.

The Indian rupee hit a record low, reflecting risk aversion and capital outflows.

Sector Performance

Metal, PSU Banks, Realty, and Consumer Durables were among the biggest losers.

Financials and auto stocks also remained under pressure.

FMCG stocks showed relative resilience as investors shifted to defensive sectors.

Overall Market Mood
The market witnessed broad-based selling and high volatility, with indices hitting their worst weekly decline in over a year as geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices dampened investor sentiment.

StockEdge’s Morning Market Report | Monday, 16 March 2026

Nifty 50 closed at 23,151 — down 488 points (-2.06%). The index opened weak at 23,462, and steadily drifted lower through out the day — closing right at the day's low.
Market breadth on the headline index was at its worst — just 3 advances against 47 declines on Nifty 50.
FIIs net sold a massive ₹10,717 Cr. March MTD FII outflows now stand at approximately ₹56,000+ Cr — the worst monthly outflow in recent history.

India VIX surged 6.32% to close at 22.88 — fear and volatility at its highest level in this entire correction.
US markets extended their losing streak. It was the third straight week of losses for Wall Street.
GIFT Nifty – currently is slightly up : 100 + points. Dollar index is trading at 100+ levels.

Nifty
The index saw a vertical fall – last week. Index has quickly tested the 23200 level which was expect on the break of 23700 – 800 and has closed below the same. The monthly and the weekly charts – have structural breakdowns on price as well as indicators setup. The daily charts are deeply oversold- but there are no signs of bottom out. Since the VIX is high – expect volatility, rallies will be sold into. RSI is deep in oversold territory but as highlighted repeatedly, in a trending bear market driven by a macro shock, oversold means nothing. 22900 is the next support level on the charts . On the upside bears will emerge at 23550.
Do not attempt to call a bottom until the charts show a clear base formation — there is none visible yet.

Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty closed at 53,758 — down a sharp 1,343 points (-2.44%). The index has now lost nearly 15% from its February highs — the steepest sectoral fall in this correction. PSU Banks and Private Banks are both under equal pressure. The index is now at a weekly important support zone of 53700 ,where multiple previous swing highs can be seen. The bulls could try and step in – and we could see a minor pull back in this space. However overall the trend remains under pressure.

Sector Watch
Strong (Relative): Pharma, Power,
Weak: Banking, Metals, Auto, Infrastructure, Realty

Conclusion
From a bird’s eye view - Everything's just trading with crude oil at this point. We're basically in a holding pattern until we get the hour-by-hour, day-by-day news about the conflict.
This is not a market driven by fundamentals or technicals anymore — it is entirely hostage to one variable: the Strait of Hormuz. As Several stocks are available at a huge Value price giving the fall.
Capital preservation is the only strategy. Do not bottom fish, do not add fresh longs, and stay away from leverage. Wait for a clear signal — and then commit.
