Here’s a quick wrap-up where we break down the performance of key indices, top corporate movers, and the major economic headlines of the day.
Nifty 50 and Sensex ended a volatile trading session in the red, slipping around 0.50% as Q1 earnings triggered a ~5% drop in HDFC Bank and Axis Bank and a ~2% slide in Kotak Mahindra Bank, pulling the benchmarks lower due to their massive index weightage. The bearish sentiment was further driven by foreign capital outflows and escalating US-Iran tensions. Despite this, most sectoral indices closed in the green, with Nifty PSU Bank emerging as the top gainer, while Nifty Private Bank ended as the top loser.

What is a Trendline?
In technical analysis, a trendline is a straight line drawn on a chart connecting a series of price points to show an asset’s overall direction. Think of it like tracing a hiker’s path up a rocky mountain. They might step down into a few dips along the way, but their general journey is upward. A trendline simply connects those lower dips to reveal their true, larger path.
In the stock market, you’ll see these drawn diagonally across price charts. An uptrend line connects the lowest points (support), while a downtrend line connects the highest peaks (resistance). For everyday investors, this visual tool is crucial. Daily price swings often look chaotic. A trendline cuts through that short-term noise, helping you quickly identify a stock’s true momentum and spot when that long-term trend is finally breaking.
