On February 5, the Indian equity benchmarks were unable to sustain their initial gains and concluded lower in a volatile session. Investors anxiously awaited the outcome of the RBI meeting for insights into potential rate cuts and the inflation trajectory. Despite a positive global backdrop, the market opened on a positive note but remained range-bound with a favorable bias in early trade. However, last-hour selling pressure wiped out all the gains, leading to the Sensex and the Nifty closing near the day's lowest levels. On the sectoral front, bank, capital goods, information technology, and FMCG were down by 0.3-0.9%, while auto, pharma, metal, oil & gas, and realty posted gains of 1% each.
NIFTY: The index opened 68 points higher at 21,921 and made a high of 21,964 before closing at 21,771. Nifty has formed a bearish candlestick pattern, which resembles a Bearish Engulfing kind of pattern on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 21,815 while immediate support is at 21,700.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened flat at 45,962 and closed at 45,825. Bank Nifty has formed a bearish candlestick pattern with upper and lower shadows on the daily timeframe. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 46,250 while support is at 45,500.
