Indian Stock Market Rally Ends Three-Day Slump

Indian Market's Positive Close on July 30, 2025

The Indian stock market concluded the trading session on July 30, 2025, with a positive outlook. The Nifty 50 index climbed to 24,850, and the Sensex saw a gain of 447 points, ending a three-day losing streak. This upward movement was fuelled by purchasing activity in significant heavyweight stocks and across multiple sectors.

Key highlights from the session include:

  • Nifty and Sensex Recovery:
    • After starting lower and briefly dropping below 24,600, the Nifty index gained momentum during the mid-session, closing near its peak at 24,850.
    • The Sensex concluded at 81,337.95, marking an increase of 446.93 points or 0.55%.
  • Sectoral Performance:
    • In contrast to the previous session's decline, all sectoral indices experienced gains.
    • Realty, Pharma, and Oil & Gas sectors led the gains, each increasing by about 1%, indicating broad market strength.
  • Top Performers and Underperformers:
    • Top Gainers: Jio Financial, Reliance Industries, Larsen & Toubro, Asian Paints, and Eicher Motors.
    • Top Losers: SBI Life Insurance, TCS, Axis Bank, HDFC Life, and Titan.
  • Technical Analysis:
    • The index's closing above 24,800 suggests a temporary short-term bottom.
    • For sustained growth, the Nifty needs to surpass 24,850 and break the 25,000 resistance level, which is linked with important moving averages.
    • Until then, selling pressure could rise if the index increases too rapidly.
  • Market Sentiment and Volatility:
    • Sentiment improved as uncertainties regarding trade deals diminished.
    • India VIX, a volatility gauge, fell by 4.46% to 11.52, indicating decreased market fear.

The Indian market demonstrated resilience on an F&O expiry day, with broad participation and technical indicators suggesting cautious optimism. Market participants will be closely monitoring the 25,000 resistance level to determine whether the rally can endure beyond this critical psychological mark.
