Why this caution in the market?

While in 2024 India has been one of the comparatively strong markets, there are several factors that impact the December’s cautious tone. To this end, GoodReturns.in explained by pointing to the fact that the index opened flat on December 2, 2024, due to many issues that continue to affect global markets, especially the inflation rates and interest rates. Such causes such as geopolitical risk and uncertainty facing the United States economy, are responsible for this situation together with the above mentioned elaments.

The Indian economy remains resilient, supported by a growing consumer market, robust export demand, and significant foreign investment inflows. This mix of global and local factors creates a complex scenario for the benchmark index.

In recent days the Nifty 50 share price has touched a highly sensitive level, which has the potential to create a reversal  A “head and shoulders” formation seems to imply that the index might not sustain its recent advance in the event that key levels are broken.

Moreover, oversold/overbought indicated by Relative Strength Index (RSI) are in middle of the line which imply that the market is average. As a result, this strengthen the argument that investors should wait for a breakout or breakdown in the following days.

If the index goes below 18,700, it may suggest a deeper correction while a move above 19,500 is likely to propel the market further up into next year.

Regardless, December look like it will be a period of intensified price fluctuations. Overall, investors should follow the developments and remain reactive adapting to both global and domestic signals in order to manage final stage of 2024 successfully.
