The decline was widespread wherein realty, metal, and energy were among the top losers. The broader indices too traded in tandem and ended with a cut of over a percent each, while the Nifty Bank index falls 467 points to 42,959 at the close on Wednesday.

“On the global front, the head of the IMF has said that one-third of the world economy will be in recession in 2023. Rising interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and the spread of the COVID case in China are also pressuring the market,” Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart.

But still, the domestic market is showing strength as compared to the global market ahead of the Union Budget 2023 and Q3 earnings, the market analyst Gour noted.

Here is a list of things to watch out for on 30 December 2022

What should investors do?

This decline has engulfed the gains of the last four sessions in Nifty and selling pressure in the banking index, which was acting as a saviour so far, has further deteriorated the mood.

We feel the pressure may increase below 18000 levels in Nifty. Keeping in mind the scenario, it is prudent to limit leveraged positions and wait for clarity.

Technical View

Technically, Nifty has closed near an important support zone of 18050–18000, which is also acting as an immediate demand zone to buy any dip.

Below this, we may see some weakness towards the 100-DMA of 17900. On the upside, the vulnerable range is 18265–18300. Above 18300, we can expect a move towards 18370.
