The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open higher on Wednesday, tracking upbeat global market cues.

The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a positive start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 23,161 level, a premium of nearly 60 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close.

On Tuesday, the domestic equity market crashed, with the benchmark Nifty 50 falling near 23,000 level.

The Sensex cracked 1,235.08 points, or 1.60%, to close at 75,838.36, while the Nifty 50 settled 320.10 points, or 1.37%, lower at 23,024.65.

Nifty 50 formed a long bear candle on the daily chart that has engulfed the narrow range movement of the last six sessions on the downside.

“The broader high low range of 23,400 - 23,050 is now on the verge of downside breakout. The previous opening downside gap of 13 January has weighed high on the market and that resulted in a sharp weakness,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

According to him, the underlying trend has turned down sharply after a small upside bounce. The next lower support to be watched around 22,800 levels and any pullback rally could find strong resistance around 23,200 levels.

Here’s what to expect from Sensex, Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty today:

Nifty OI Data

Nifty Open Interest (OI) data indicates the highest OI on the call side at the 23,200 and 23,300 strike prices, highlighting strong resistance levels. On the put side, OI is concentrated at the 23,000 and 22,800 strike prices, marking these as key support levels, said Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking.

Sensex Prediction

Sensex plunged 1,235.08 points, or 1.60%, to close at 75,838.36 on Tuesday, with the BSE-listed companies erasing market capitalisation of ₹7 lakh crore.

“Technically, after a gap-up open, the market consistently faced selling pressure at higher levels. This led to the formation of a long bearish candle on the daily charts, and the Sensex index closed below the 76,000 support zone, which is largely negative. We are of the view that, as long as the market trades below 76,000, the weak sentiment is likely to continue,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.

On the downside, the market could slip as low as 75,500. Further weakness is likely to continue, which could drag the market till 75,300. However, above 76,000, the market could bounce back, moving towards 76,400 - 76,500. The current market texture is volatile, and thus level-based trading would be the ideal strategy for day traders, he added.

Nifty 50 Prediction

Nifty 50 witnessed heavy selloff on January 21 and closed the day lower by 320 points.

“Nifty 50 opened on a positive note but faced selling pressure near its 14-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average), closing with a long bearish candlestick just above the key support of 23,000 and below its consolidation range. The RSI, currently at 36 and in bearish crossover, indicates a bearish trend, suggesting room for further downside before entering the oversold zone and solidifying bearish dominance. Selling pressure continues to limit recoveries, and the follow-up move will be key to confirming further downside,” said Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

According to him, a close below 23,000 could push the index toward pre-election levels of 22,500, with immediate resistance at 23,300. Until Nifty 50 closes above 23,500, he recommends a sell-on-rise strategy.

Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities, noted that the broader structure of lower highs and lower lows remains intact, indicating the continuation of the downtrend.

“Nifty 50 also slipped below its 9-day EMA, suggesting weakening short-term momentum. The index’s falling intensity was highlighted by a sharp rise in volatility, as the India VIX surged 3.90% intraday, closing at the 17.06 level. Notably, the VIX spiked nearly 18% in January, signaling heightened market uncertainty. The daily RSI tilted further downward now hovering near the 35 level, reflecting diminishing strength. The support is positioned at 22,800 and the primary trend remains decisively bearish,” Mehra said.

At this juncture, bottom fishing should be avoided as the market remains vulnerable. It is prudent to wait for clear signs of stabilization or reversal, he added.

VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, said that unless the Nifty 50 index crosses the 23,472 level, the bearish sentiment could prevail, especially as we approach the budget session.

“On the technical charts, Nifty 50 can expect support near 23,090 and 23,000, and resistance levels can be found near 23,310 and 23,380 in the next session. Considering the current volatility and continued global uncertainty, market participants should remain cautious in the coming weeks and stick with a sell-on-rise approach,” Ambala said.

Bank Nifty Prediction

Bank Nifty ended Tuesday’s session at 48,570.90, registering a decline of 779.90 points, or 1.58%, and formed a bearish engulfing pattern on the daily chart, highlighting a mounting bearish outlook.

“Although the Bank Nifty index attempted to move higher, the previous resistance levels proved to be stronger, and the index lost momentum. The broader structure of lower highs and lower lows remains intact, signaling the continuation of the downtrend. The index remains below key moving averages, suggesting persistent weakness in the short term,” said Om Mehra.

The swing low remains at 47,898, and a break below this level could trigger further declines in the index. The immediate resistance remains at 49,500, which could limit any potential upward movement, he added.

“ London is back,” the capital’s Mayor Sadiq Khan told CNBC on Wednesday , laying out his ambition to attract investors, visitors and students who are looking for an alternative to the U.S amid an uncertain Trump 2.0 era.                            “At a time of growing international instability, at a time when there are, let’s be frank, choppy political waters in the U.S., we’re that rare thing — somewhere that’s stable, that’s open, that’s diverse. A brilliant environment for innovation, creativity and business,” the mayor of London told CNBC’s Tania Bryer. U.S. President Donald Trump’s often mercurial position on trade, immigration and visa policies have rattled markets as well as businesses, tourists and students looking to make the U.S. their base. Khan said the U.K. was seeing an increase in interest from American businesses and individuals looking to avoid more uncertain economic times and societal changes at h...

Booming Cross-Border E-Commerce Activity in Asia Presents Opportunities for European Merchants VARIOUS Booming Cross-Border E-Commerce Activity in Asia Presents Opportunities for European Merchants by Fintechnews Switzerland September 12, 2023 International e-commerce spending by JCB cardholders based in Asia increased by 52% between 2021 and 2022, presenting a significant opportunity for merchants in Europe as shoppers across the region show increasing willingness to purchase goods online from foreign businesses, a new paper by the Japanese credit card company shows. The report, titled “Click into Place: Unpacking Card Abandonment”, provides insights on online spending from Asia, sharing the latest research and data on e-commerce trends to help businesses boost e-commerce sales and stand out from the crowd. According to the report, cross-border e-commerce activity increased substantially last year, with India leading the region with a staggering five-fold growth, followed by Indonesia and Vietnam, where cross-border e-commerce more than doubled between 2021 and 2023. In Hong Kong and the Philippines, global e-commerce spending grew by around 80%, while China, Taiwan and Thailand saw growth of about 50%. Further growth is expected in the future as the cart abandonment rate in Asia’s e-commerce industry is currently the highest in the world, standing at over 84% as of March 2023 compared with about 70% for customers globally. High cart abandonment in Asia suggests that there is potential for more expansion in the region if merchants are able to solve customers’ friction points and improve experience, the report says. cross border e-commerce image via freepik Addressing cart abandonment Cart abandonment is the act of a shopper adding an item to an online shopping cart but leaving the website without completing the purchase. It represents a significant amount of lost revenue for merchants in the online space. According to JCB, there are several cause of cart abandonment, with the first common one being the payment journey. In Asia, complicated checkouts and unexpected payment processes are cited as a reason for abandoning carts, with 55% of online shoppers in the region identifying long login and sign-up forms as a key source of frustrated. To address this paint point and boost sales, merchants must enhance customer experience by streamlining their checkout process with a well-designed website. They should also leverage advanced technology and design practices to balance security with user experience, using for example pre-fill information and tokenization to speed up the checkout process, as well as technology like 3DS authentication to increase consumer trust. Such improvements not only increase immediate sales and conversion rates but also foster long-term brand loyalty, the report says. The second cause of cart abandonment outlined in the JCB report is unmet customer expectations around how they can pay, and how easy it is to do so. Understanding customer psychology is vital to reduce cart abandonment in e-commerce, the report says. To cater to local preferences, merchants should offer multiple languages and payment currencies, provide a personalized customer journey, and ensure that payment processes are seamless across both mobile and desktop platforms. This is critical become mobile purchases are on the rise, representing 43% of e-commerce sales globally in 2023. In Asia-Pacific (APAC), that share is even higher, with mobile commerce constituting 75.8% of sales in 2022. Finally, the third and final cause of cart abandonment outlined in the report is the failure to react to external factors, such as market trends and changes in consumer behaviour. During the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce surged, especially in Asia, due to increased internet and mobile device access, the report says. However, the global economic downturn has somewhat hindered e-commerce growth and altered customer behaviors. This has led many consumers to start using online carts as a modern form of window shopping, adding items for future consideration or price comparisons. This behavior, which may lead to cart abandonment, is likely to rise with economic concerns and decreased impulse buying, it warns. To counter this, merchants should offer competitive pricing and employ strategies like remarketing and non-intrusive exit-intent pop-ups. They should also bolster customer confidence with reviews and security guarantees. e-commerce cart abondon image via Unsplash Cross-border e-commerce on the rise Over the past couple of years, cross-border e-commerce has witnessed significant growth, driven by the proliferation of the Internet and mobile devices, improved logistics, payment innovations and the rise of global e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba and eBay. With disposable income rising in developing markets, e-commerce merchants and marketplaces will continue pivoting towards them, pushing cross-border online shopping to new heights. According to Juniper Research, cross-border e-commerce transaction values will reach US$1.6 trillion this year. Through 2028, that number is projected to grow by more than twofold to US$3.4 trillion. In comparison, domestic e-commerce transaction values are set to grow by 48% over the same period, implying that much of the growth in the e-commerce payments market will in the cross-border area. In 2022, around 168 million Chinese customers had engaged in cross-border import e-commerce, growing from 155 million the previous year, data from market research and analytics platform Statista show. The trade value of cross-border import business reached approximately 34 trillion yuan (US$4.6 billion) that year. In Southeast Asia, about a quarter (23%) of consumers said they are shopping more at merchants based in other countries in the region since the start of the pandemic, while a similar number (22%) are shopping more in stores outside of Southeast Asia, a 2021 study by ACI Worldwide and YouGov reveals.
