Sensex crashes 800 points, Nifty nears 24,500, why is the Indian stock market falling?
Monday’s market session didn’t just open red, it opened confused. By mid-morning, panic had already gripped investors. What started as a jittery opening turned into a broad-based decline across sectors, led by global trade fears and a wave of caution in large-cap names.
The day was far from smooth. Indexes swung violently, and only a handful of stocks managed to stay in the green.
Sensex Tanks, Then Steadies, But the Damage Was Done
The BSE Sensex plunged over 800 points at its lowest, reacting sharply to headlines around new trade tariff proposals overseas. Although a late-session bounce helped it recover some ground, the benchmark still settled around 81,272.11, bruised and visibly tired.
Heavyweights were under pressure throughout the day. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Reliance Industries all slipped, dragging sentiment with them. The selling wasn’t just about valuations; it reflected a broader uncertainty brewing outside India.
For now, 81,500 looks like a ceiling that bulls are struggling to break. Every rally is getting sold into.
Nifty 50 Dips Near 24,500, A Level That’s Getting Tested More Often
Over at the NSE, the Nifty 50 dipped to 24,716.60, after briefly touching levels below 24,550. That zone has become a frequent battleground for bulls and bears. With the RSI barely holding at 51 and the MACD offering little direction, the index looks like it’s waiting on a catalyst, or perhaps more bad news.
Sectors were uneven. IT stocks fell after weakness in global peers, and metals weren’t far behind. Mphasis and Hindalco both clocked losses, and the broader undertone remained defensive.
If the Nifty can’t hold 24,550 over the next few sessions, traders may start preparing for a move down to 24,300.
Suzlon Energy Defies the Mood, Keeps Climbing
One of the few bright spots in the session was Suzlon Energy, which continued its uptrend despite the broader selloff. The stock rallied over 10% in three sessions, now trading near ₹71.15.
What’s driving the rally? Mostly earnings. Suzlon’s Q4 results came in hot, and profit after tax surged by over 365% compared to the same period last year. That kind of surprise doesn’t go unnoticed, especially in a sideways market.
Technically, the stock cleared ₹65.70, and it hasn’t looked back. With decent volume, the next resistance stands around ₹73.00, followed by ₹76.50 if bulls stay active. RSI is in the low 40s, giving it space to move. MACD is flat, but momentum is still leaning positive.
Tata Motors Drops as May Numbers Disappoint
Not everyone had a good Monday. Tata Motors slipped after releasing its May sales data, and the market didn’t take it well. Total sales were down 8.6% year-on-year. Domestic performance fell 10%, and even commercial vehicle sales dropped 5%.
Investors had expected stronger traction coming into mid-year. What they got was the company’s weakest performance so far in 2025.
The stock ended the session near ₹710, and if it breaks below ₹705, the chart starts to look shaky. RSI is down to 42, and the MACD is curling south. The next support sits closer to ₹690, and traders are watching that level closely.
Outlook: Risk-On Pause, But Select Names Still Have Momentum
This wasn’t just a bad day. It was a reality check. Global tensions are back in focus, and Indian markets aren’t immune. Between external shocks and local underperformance in key sectors, the broader trend is looking heavy.
That said, it’s not all red. Names like Suzlon are proving that strong fundamentals still matter. If anything, the current climate is rewarding earnings strength and punishing misses.
Unless Nifty decisively reclaims 24,800, traders may stay on the sidelines. And if Sensex can’t hold above 81,200, the path of least resistance might be lower, at least in the short term.
Sensex Ends Lower, Nifty Below 24,750 as Global Jitters, Tariff Fears Weigh on Markets
The market couldn’t shake off the pressure on Monday. The Sensex gave up early gains and closed below 81,300, while the Nifty 50 finished at 24,716, weighed down by weakness across key sectors.
Much of the morning drag came after reports of fresh US steel tariffs under Trump’s second term started doing the rounds. That spooked traders, who worry this could reignite global trade tensions. Add to that a lukewarm GDP print and soft global PMI numbers, and risk appetite just didn’t stand a chance today.
Banking, metals, and auto stocks led the decline, while only a handful of midcaps, including Suzlon Energy, bucked the trend. Markets may remain volatile this week as investors digest international headlines and position ahead of key macro releases.
Tata Motors Sales Drop 9% in May 2025
Tata Motors reported a 9% year-on-year decline in total sales for May, with just 70,187 units sold compared to over 76,000 during the same month last year. Domestic passenger vehicle sales slipped to 43,164 units, while commercial vehicle volumes fell to 28,147 units. The numbers caught the market off guard, especially after a stronger April performance. With rural demand still uneven and exports showing no pick-up, investors are watching how the stock holds above key technical levels this week. Caution is setting in.
Sensex Slips Below 81,300 as Nifty 50 Struggles Near 24,700
Sensex Slips Below 81,300 as Nifty 50 Struggles Near 24,700
Markets are struggling to find direction this afternoon. Sensex dipped below 81,300 again, still feeling the weight of selling in names like ICICI Bank and Reliance. It had recovered from the sharp 800-point fall earlier but couldn’t hold gains.
Nifty 50 is stuck near 24,700, after briefly dipping under 24,550 earlier. There’s hesitation in the market, global trade tensions, mixed earnings, and no real local triggers.
Traders aren’t taking chances. Charts look shaky. Volumes are flat.
