Nifty 50 and Sensex Set for Higher Open After Sharp Decline on March 19
March 19, 2026, 10:21 PM EDT. The Indian stock market benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open higher on March 20 after a sharp drop the previous day. The Sensex fell 3.26% to 74,207.24, and the Nifty 50 dropped 3.26% to 23,002.15 amid profit booking and supply pressure. Futures trends indicate a positive start, with the Gift Nifty trading around 23,250, suggesting short-covering activity. Technical analysts highlight crucial support zones for Sensex near 73,700-73,800 and resistance near 74,700-74,800. Nifty 50 shows bearish patterns with potential downsides toward 22,500 if it slips below 22,900. The short-term outlook remains cautious as pullbacks may see further selling unless sentiment improves significantly.
