Sensex Plummets 850 Points in Pre-Opening: Live Market Updates

Sensex Plummets 850 Points in Pre-Opening: Live Market Updates

Indian stocks opened under renewed pressure on 23 March 2026. At 08:10 AM IST, markets showed heightened volatility amid geopolitical tensions.

Early action saw Sensex plummets 850 points in pre-opening, adding to investor caution. Analysts warned that a breach of key levels could deepen losses.

Market snapshot

Nifty Friday close 23,114 (about +0.5%)
Previous session fall ~3.3%
Immediate support 22,900
Risk-on breach target 22,500
Expected upside cap 23,400–24,200

Technical outlook

Traders see 22,900 as the crucial support. A sustained break below that can push Nifty toward 22,500.

Upside momentum looks limited. Analysts expect ceilings in the 23,400–24,200 band.

Analyst views and market drivers

Experts describe the near-term outlook as fragile. Volatility is likely to continue while geopolitical rhetoric persists.

Friday’s small rebound came after a sharp retreat. That rebound does not remove downside risks.

Risks to watch

  • Escalating geopolitical tensions and rhetoric.
  • Further sharp pre-open moves, like the early Sensex drop.
  • Breaches of the 22,900 support level.
