#Nifty50 Market Update: A Week of Volatility and Uncertainty
The #Nifty50 closed at 23,519, marking a 170-point rise from last week's close, after hitting a high of 23,869 and a low of 23,412. As anticipated last week, once Nifty managed to sustain above the crucial 23,300 level, it surged to a high of 23,869, before retracing to close at 23,519. However, this week’s market candle formed a Dragonfly Doji, indicating that bears continue to hold control, as concerns over the financial year-end and the looming uncertainty of Trump's new tariff policy, set to take effect on April 2, dampened market sentiment.
With the market facing such pressure, it's crucial to consider the potential volatility for next week, as the market will be truncated due to the Eid holiday on Monday. As a result, Nifty could trade within a broad range of 24,000 to 23,000. For the next phase of an uptrend, Nifty must hold above 24,000, after which it could test higher levels of 24,200, 24,414 (a key Fibonacci level), and possibly 24,600.
Looking at the broader market trends, the monthly time frame remains bearish, while the weekly is slightly bullish and the daily trend is bullish. If favorable conditions align, we may begin to see upward movement in Nifty and other indices by mid-April, though in the interim, we’ll likely need to weather the storm and remain patient with the bearish sentiment.
S&P 500 Market Update: Testing Critical Support Levels
The S&P 500 closed at 5,580, down about 90 points from the previous week's close, hitting a low of 5,572. With the index closing near its weekly low, it suggests downward pressure may persist into the next week, with potential support levels at 5,550 and 5,458 (another key Fibonacci level). A test of these levels could put additional strain on Indian markets as well, amplifying volatility.
Overall, the market remains in a precarious position, and investors should brace for potential swings until more clarity emerges, especially with the geopolitical and policy risks at play.
