The Indian equity markets witnessed a subdued trading session on Tuesday, with major indices opening lower and sustaining losses throughout the day. Sentiment remained cautious as both benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, traded below key psychological levels, reflecting mild selling pressure across broader sectors. Despite staying above key moving averages on the technical front, the market lacked upward momentum, suggesting investor hesitation amid broader global uncertainty. Momentum indicators such as the RSI remained in neutral zones, signalling the absence of strong buying conviction.
Sectoral trends painted a clear picture of risk aversion, with high-beta indices like PSU Banks, Consumer Durables, and Media bearing the brunt of the selloff. Mid- and small-cap stocks also came under pressure as broader market sentiment turned defensive. Globally, bearish cues from Asian peers added to the weakness, as concerns over economic recovery and geopolitical tensions weighed heavily.
The negative movement in U.S. futures further reinforced the risk-off mood, with traders possibly positioning cautiously ahead of key data releases or policy cues. Overall, the market sentiment was largely bearish, marked by profit booking and reduced risk appetite.
In this overview, we will analyse the key technical levels and trend directions for Nifty and BSE Sensex to monitor in the upcoming trading sessions. All the charts mentioned below are based on the 5-minute timeframe.
