Bulls Roar Back on D-Street: Sensex Soars 800 Points, Nifty Jumps 1.2% After 10-Day Slump
Bulls Roar Back : After a prolonged 10-day losing streak, Indian stock markets witnessed a strong rebound on March 5, with the benchmark indices surging sharply. The Sensex climbed 796.34 points (1.09%) to 73,726.27, while the Nifty gained 268.75 points (1.22%) to 22,351.40. A combination of value buying, positive global cues, and renewed investor confidence fueled the rally, pushing beaten-down stocks higher.
Let’s dive into the key factors driving this market surge.
🔥 Key Drivers Behind the Market Rally
✅ 1. US Tariff Relief Signals Boost Sentiment
One of the biggest triggers for the rally was the indication from US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that the Trump administration might ease tariffs. The move could benefit global trade and reduce uncertainties, bringing some relief to emerging markets like India.
✅ 2. Strong Global Markets Set the Tone
Asian markets provided a much-needed boost, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rising nearly 2% and Japan’s Nikkei trading higher. The rally in global equities supported Indian markets, indicating a shift in sentiment after weeks of turbulence.
✅ 3. Heavy Buying in Midcap & Smallcap Stocks
Broader markets saw a significant rebound, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices rising nearly 2%. Analysts believe that after a sharp correction, many stocks became attractive from a valuation perspective, prompting a wave of bargain hunting.
✅ 4. Value Buying in Blue-Chip Stocks
Investors piled into Tata Steel, Mahindra & Mahindra, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Adani Ports, Tata Motors, Power Grid, NTPC, Infosys, TCS, and Bharti Airtel, which emerged as top gainers. Some of these stocks surged over 4% in intraday trade, fueled by strong institutional buying.
✅ 5. Potential Export Gains for Indian Companies
With higher US tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, Indian exporters could see a boost in shipments to the US. Experts say that industries like agriculture, engineering, machine tools, garments, textiles, chemicals, and leather might benefit from trade shifts.
📈 Technical Market Outlook & Key Levels to Watch
According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, the market is trading near key support levels of 22,000/72,800 and 21,800/72,300.
🔹 A sharp rebound from these levels could lead to a strong reversal.
🔹 A break below 21,800/72,300 could push the markets towards 21,500/71,500.
🔹 Resistance levels to watch: 22,200/73,400 and 22,500/74,300.
Experts suggest that buying selectively at current levels and accumulating more on dips could be a good strategy in the near term.

🚀 Conclusion: A Temporary Relief or Start of a New Bull Run?
The sharp rebound in Indian equities has provided much-needed relief to investors after a 10-day losing streak. However, experts caution that global trade uncertainties, inflation concerns, and policy decisions from the US Fed will continue to play a crucial role in determining market direction.
For now, traders and long-term investors alike are keeping a close watch on key resistance levels, with hopes that this strong recovery could mark the beginning of a sustained upward trend.
