Indian equity markets fell on Thursday, January 09. The BSE Sensex dropped as much as 0.77% to 77,542.92 level while the NSE compiled Nifty 50 slipped 0.78% to an intra-day low level of 23,503, testing one of the important support levels. The Nifty 50 closed the session 0.69% lower at 23,526.50. The Sensex dropped 0.68% to finish at 77,620.21.
According to the analysts, the fall in markets can be attributed to the muted earnings expectations from TCS, the weak rupee, and continuous FII selling.
“A follow-up breach below 23,500 would validate a sell-on-rise strategy, with further downside expected. Conversely, holding this support may lead to consolidation,” said Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.

However, the company posted a net profit of Rs Rs 12,380 crore for the third quarter of the current financial year, an increase of 5.5% on year, compared with Rs Rs 11,735 crore in the same quarter a year ago. Its revenue from operations stood at Rs Rs 63,973 crore, up 5.6% on year in Q3 FY25.
