The Indian stock market continued its downward trend for the fourth consecutive trading session, with the Nifty 50 index falling 289.25 points (1.21%) to 23,526.60 and the Sensex dropping 1,024.97 points (1.35%) to 74,990.31. This decline has been attributed to rising concerns over the economic impact of high crude oil prices amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict, as well as comments from Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging citizens to reduce consumption of certain goods. Over the past four sessions, the Sensex has lost more than 2,800 points, reflecting a 3% drop. Analysts suggest that the Nifty 50's breach of the 23,800 support level indicates further weakness, with key support levels now at 23,400 and 23,100. The market remains cautious, with a potential for further downside if the index fails to reclaim these levels. The current market setup indicates a shift towards bearish sentiment, with a risk of a short-covering rally if the Nifty 50 can move above 23,700.
