Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The biggest determinant of the market moves these days has been oil prices, which continue to remain above $100 a barrel, as trading resumed after the weekend break.

After the second instance of a 1,000-point loss in three sessions in March, the Nifty bulls would seek some relief at lower levels, as the index is nearing a key technical level. The 78.6% retracement from the April 2025 lows to the January 2026 highs comes to 23,096, which is just 60 points away from Friday's close.

Below this, the index risks a move back towards 23,000 and even 22,800, as per analysts. The texture of the market through, remains in sell-on-rallies as every intraday recovery on Friday kept getting sold into, resulting in the 500-point drop. Both Nifty and the Nifty Bank are down 13% from their respective record levels. Among stocks, watch for financial names, metal stocks like Hindalco, Waaree Energies, Data Patterns, among others.
