Market Update - March 26, 2025
The Nifty 50 dropped 181.80 points (-0.77%) to close at 23,486.65, while the Sensex plunged 728.69 points (-0.93%), as investor sentiment weakened ahead of US President Donald Trump’s expected tariff announcement on April 2. Global uncertainty triggered selling pressure, leading to a volatile session.
FIIs have offloaded ₹4,744.25 crore in March, with ₹2,53,163.43 crore in purchases and ₹2,57,907.68 crore in sales. Meanwhile, DIIs have been net buyers, adding ₹27,421.49 crore (Purchases: ₹2,18,017.71 crore, Sales: ₹1,90,596.22 crore).

Technically, on the daily chart, Nifty 50 has broken out of its falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential trend reversal. The index is testing resistance at 23,499.92 (100-day EMA), but a strong breakout above 23,750 could trigger an extended rally toward 23,950–24,000. RSI at 64.84 suggests some exhaustion, raising the possibility of a short-term pullback before further upside. Support lies at 23,350 and 23,200—holding above these levels keeps the uptrend intact, while a breakdown could lead to a correction toward 22,800.
