Bears are alive and kicking. For the second consecutive day today, markets saw profit booking across the board just that it was more intense than Friday's. Benchmark index Nifty 50 after making a high of ~18k on Friday has corrected 500 points in just two trading sessions and closed at ~17500 today. Bank nifty continued to be the worse of the two indices and fell 1.8% or ~700 points for the day to close at ~38300. All other sectors like IT, pharma, auto, metal, etc. corrected too and ended 1-2% lower for the day. The sharp sell off in two trading sessions could be a sign of worry for bulls but it will be too early to call this an end of the bull run. Markets may consolidate from here before starting another leg up again. Ashish Gupta, Volatility Trader and Derivatives Expert

We expect the dollar index to move higher to 109 mark and the Comex gold may decline to $1,710 – 1,700 an ounce. In that scenario, MCX Gold October is also likely to drop to Rs. 50,800 per 10 grams this week. Read full story

The outlook for the Indian rupee remains bleak, particularly in light of the recent announcement on foreign exchange reserves, which showed a decline in reserves to US$570.7 billion a decrease of US$2.2 billion over the previous week. If the US dollar index keeps rising, capital inflows into the Indian market could be hindered. It recorded its highest weekly rise since April 2020 on Friday, when it hit a five-week high. One of the key factors in the market's recent surge has been the FIIs' purchasing frenzy. This trend will be closely monitored by the market. On the technical front, immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50 are 17400 and 17850 respectively. Bank Nifty immediate support and resistance are 38450 and 39300 respectively.
