The Indian indices opened lower on April 13 with Nifty below 23600 on the back of renewed geopolitical concerns after failed US–Iran talks and rising crude oil price.

The Sensex was down 1,569.80 points or 2.02 percent at 75,980.45, and the Nifty was down 463.70 points or 1.93 percent at 23,586.90. About 617 shares advanced, 2246 shares declined, and 196 shares unchanged.

Indian equity markets are expected to open on a gap-down note on Monday, tracking weak global cues and a sharp decline in GIFT Nifty.

GIFT Nifty is currently trading around 23,750 down -335 points, indicating a negative start for domestic indices.

The weakness comes amid renewed geopolitical concerns after failed US–Iran talks and rising crude oil prices, which are weighing on global sentiment and Asian markets.

In the previous session (10th April), benchmark indices ended strongly higher, recovering sharply from earlier losses. The Nifty 50 gained 275 points (1.16%) to close at 24,050.60, while the BSE Sensex surged 918 points to settle at 77,550.25, led by buying in auto, banking, and capital goods stocks.

From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50 had reclaimed the 24,000 mark, but the sharp fall in GIFT Nifty suggests the index may again slip below this crucial level at the open. Immediate support is seen near 23,650–23,600, while resistance is placed around 23,950–24,000.

The Bank Nifty saw a strong rebound in the previous session, but is likely to witness pressure again in early trade. The index is expected to face resistance near 55,800–56,000, while support is placed around 55,500–55,300.

Overall, the market setup suggests a weak to negative start, tracking global cues and a sharp fall in GIFT Nifty. Despite Friday’s strong recovery, sentiment has turned cautious again, and the market may witness profit booking and volatility, especially if Nifty sustains below the 24,000 mark.

Nifty is expected to open sharply lower around 23,700, down nearly 350 points, reacting to negative global cues following the failure of recent peace talks.

After the recent upmove, this gap-down suggests a shift back to caution, with sentiment turning risk-off. The index is likely to test immediate support zones early in the session.

On the downside, 23,600–23,700 will act as a crucial support range. A break below this could trigger further selling pressure. On the upside, 23,900–24,000 now becomes immediate resistance, and any bounce towards this zone may face selling.

Given the news-driven setup, markets are expected to remain highly volatile, with sharp intraday swings.

Strategy remains cautious — avoid aggressive longs at the open. Traders can look to sell on rise or wait for stability near support before considering fresh positions.

Benchmark indices are trading weak in the pre-opening session with Nifty below 23400.

The Sensex was down 1,926.94 points or 2.48 percent at 75,623.31, and the Nifty was down 686.10 points or 2.85 percent at 23,364.50.
