On Tuesday, Indian market indices showed initial gains but later reversed course. The Nifty50 concluded with a red-bodied candle featuring a long upper wick in the daily chart.
The BSE Sensex finished up, rising 0.31% or 239 points to 77,578.38, whilst the Nifty 50 advanced by 64.70 points or 0.28% to 23,518.50.
The Nifty has declined approximately 10% from its September 27 peak of 26,277, entering correction territory. A 20% decline from the peak would indicate a bear market in Dalal Street.
Over the past three trading sessions, whilst Nifty attempted to recover above its 200-DEMA during Tuesday’s session, it was unsuccessful.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continue their negative outlook on Indian markets in November, following October’s substantial exits, with withdrawals reaching Rs 22,420 crores in November’s first half.
