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.
