India’s benchmark Sensex has jumped about 3,000 points in three sessions, with the latest leg taking the index to 79,310.01, as foreign buying, softer oil prices and optimism around earnings pull money back into blue chips.
Sensex Rises 3,000 Points to 79,310
The move matters because it comes after a steep washout that had left the market oversold and vulnerable to a sharp rebound. Technical indicators now show the index well above its 50-day moving average, with the relative strength index at 78.0 and the MACD firmly positive, a sign the near-term momentum has turned strongly bullish even after months of volatility.
Sentiment Indicators
Investors are also reacting to improving global cues. Adalytica’s U.S. dollar trade signals show extreme fear, while the Indian market has benefited from a weaker dollar backdrop and a rotation into emerging-market risk assets. At the same time, falling crude prices have eased pressure on India’s import bill and inflation outlook, a key support for domestic equities and sectors tied to consumption and margins.
The rally has been led by heavyweight names and export-oriented stocks, with recent gains in Mahindra & Mahindra and IT shares helping lift the broader market. Earlier, the Sensex had already staged a festival-season surge, underscoring how quickly sentiment can swing when global liquidity, commodity prices and foreign portfolio flows align in India’s favor.
The next test is whether the rebound can extend beyond a short-covering bounce. Traders will watch foreign inflows, crude, the dollar and the next round of earnings to see if the Sensex can hold above the 79,000 mark and challenge its August highs.
