Global markets continue to remain volatile as rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran keep investor sentiment cautious. Concerns around potential oil supply disruptions via the Strait of Hormuz have added pressure, even as stronger-than-expected U.S. labour data signals a resilient economy. Market participants are now closely watching the upcoming FOMC minutes for further clarity on the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory.

Indian Market Outlook

GIFT Nifty indicates a gap-down opening for Indian equities. The Nifty is expected to trade in the range of 22,550–23,940 in the near term.

Previous Session Highlights

Indian equity markets ended marginally higher in a volatile session on April 2, with the Nifty sustaining above the 22,700 mark. The day began on a weak note, impacted by rising crude oil prices, which crossed $106 per barrel amid geopolitical concerns. This led to initial weakness across Asian markets.

However, sentiment improved as the session progressed, with the Nifty recovering over 500 points from intraday lows to close near the day’s high.

Sensex: Up 185.23 points (0.25%) to 73,319.55

Nifty: Up 33.70 points (0.15%) to 22,713.10

Broader markets underperformed, with midcap and smallcap indices ending lower.

On the sectoral front, IT stocks led gains, rising 2.6%, followed by realty. Meanwhile, auto, PSU banks, oil & gas, pharma, and consumer durables sectors witnessed mild declines.

Nifty Technical Outlook

From a technical perspective, the Nifty formed a counterattack bullish candle, indicating a strong pullback after a gap-down opening. Buying interest emerged from oversold levels, supporting the recovery.

That said, volatility is expected to remain elevated due to global uncertainties and firm crude oil prices.

Key Levels to Watch

Upside Trigger: A move above 22,941 may open the path towards 23,450

Range Scenario: Failure to cross 22,941 could keep Nifty range-bound between 22,200–22,900

Downside Risk: A breach below 22,182 may lead to further decline towards 22,000–21,800

The 22,000–21,800 zone remains a crucial support area, supported by long-term trendline support and the 200-week EMA.

For any meaningful pause in the broader downtrend, the index needs to form a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, along with a sustained close above 23,465.

Intraday Levels

Nifty Resistance: 22,800 | 22,940

Nifty Support: 22,550 | 22,410

Bank Nifty Resistance: 51,780 | 52,000

Bank Nifty Support: 51,110 | 50,700

Global and Asian Market Update

Geopolitical tensions escalated over the weekend after the U.S. issued a warning to Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The situation continues to remain a key risk factor for global markets, particularly due to its implications on oil supply.

Despite this, Asian markets showed some resilience. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 1.1%, while the broader Topix Index gained 0.5%, marking a second consecutive session of gains as investors assessed ongoing developments.
