Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on August 5 after Trump's tariff threat
The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a tepid start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,757 level, a discount of nearly 37 points from the Nifty futures' previous close.
On Monday, the domestic equity market ended higher, with the Nifty 50 closing above 24,700 level.
The Sensex rallied 418.81 points, or 0.52%, to close at 81,018.72, while the Nifty 50 settled 157.40 points, or 0.64%, higher at 24,722.75.
Here's what to expect from Sensex, Nifty 50, and Bank Nifty today:
Sensex has formed a reversal pattern, and has formed a bullish candle on the daily charts, which is largely positive.
'We are of the view that, in the short term, the market's texture is weak but oversold; hence, a sharp technical bounce back is not ruled out from the current levels. For day traders, 80,600 and 80,500 would act as key support zones for Sensex, while 81,500 - 81,800 could be the key resistance areas for the bulls,' said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
However, he believes, below 80,500, the sentiment could change, and below this level, traders may prefer to exit their long positions.
According to Mayank Jain, Market Analyst, Share.Market, immediate resistance for Sensex is placed in the 81,500 – 81,700 zone, and a breakout above this range could pave the way for a move towards 82,200.
'On the downside, support is expected between 80,700 – 80,500, with a breakdown potentially pulling the index lower towards the 80,000 – 79,800 zone,' Jain said.
In the derivatives segment, the highest Nifty Call open interest was observed at the 24,800 and 24,950 strike prices, signaling key resistance zones. On the other hand, the highest Put open interest stood at the 24,600 strike, indicating strong support.
This positioning suggests that a firm close above 24,800 would be crucial to reviving bullish momentum and improving overall market sentiment, said Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking.
Nifty 50 witnessed a smart bounce back on August 4 and closed the day higher by 157 points, but still trades below its key short-term moving averages.
'A reasonable positive candle was formed on the daily chart that placed beside the long bear candle of Friday. Technically, this market action indicates a pullback rally in the bearish market. Previously, few such bounces towards the lower highs have encountered with strong hurdles and Nifty 50 declined sharply,' said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
The negative chart pattern like lower tops and bottoms remains intact on the daily chart. After the formation of a new lower bottom on Monday at 24,535, Nifty 50 is expected to form a new lower top around 24,850 - 24,900 levels in the short term, which could be a sell on rise opportunity. Immediate support is placed at 24,550, Shetti added.
Mayank Jain sees immediate resistance for Nifty 50 in the 24,800 – 25,000 range, with a sustained breakout required to extend gains towards 25,250 – 25,350.
'Support is placed around 24,600 – 24,500. A decisive break below this zone could lead to further downside towards the 24,000 mark,' Jain said.
VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today said that the Nifty 50 formed a bullish Engulfing and bullish Marubozu candlestick pattern on the daily timeframe. She expects Nifty 50 to find support between 24,670 and 24,550, and face resistance near 24,950 and 25,040.
Bank Nifty index ended flat at 55,619.35 on Monday, showing indecision in the market.
'Bank Nifty index continues to exhibit weakness, trading below its 20-day and 50-day EMAs, both of which are trending downward. The daily RSI at 38 reflects the ongoing lack of momentum. Key support is at 55,350 – 55,400; a break below which could open doors to 54,750 – 54,850. Immediate resistance is at 56,150 – 56,200,' said Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities.
Overall, while Monday's bounce offers some relief, the underlying structure suggests caution. Sustainability of the recovery will depend on follow-through buying and cues from global markets, he added.
Hardik Matalia noted that the Bank Nifty showed signs of uncertainty, closing flat near the previous day's close, reflecting indecision among market participants.
'Key support levels are placed at 55,500, followed by 55,400 and 55,000. Holding above these levels could allow for further upside, while resistance is expected in the 56,250 – 56,600 zone. A decisive breakout above this range may trigger a rally toward the psychological 57,000 mark,' said Matalia.

Trump's tariff hike could shave 0.3 pp off India's GDP: Goldman Sachs
India condemns new 25% duty on exports; total levy now at 50%; analysts expect talks before August 27 deadline New Delhi India's economy could take an additional 0.3 percentage point (pp) annualised hit to real gross domestic product (GDP) growth following US President Donald Trump's decision to impose a fresh 25 per cent duty on Indian imports, Goldman Sachs said. This is over and above the 0.3 pp impact previously estimated from the April 2025 tariff round. According to Goldman Sachs, once exclusions, such as those under Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act, 1962, are applied, the effective average tariff rate on Indian exports to the US will settle at around 32 per cent. US doubles tariff on Indian goods On Wednesday evening, Trump issued an executive order imposing an additional 25 per cent duty on Indian imports. This brings the total levy to 50 per cent, effective August 27. India's US exposure significant India's exposure to the US market is substantial. Around 4 per cent of India's GDP is linked to final demand from the United States, Goldman Sachs analysts noted. In FY25, India exported goods worth $86.5 billion to the US, while imports stood at $45.7 billion. Key exports include electronics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, while major imports are crude oil, gems and jewellery, and machinery. Russian crude oil: A flashpoint in India-US trade relations One major point of tension is oil. While Russia provided about one-third of India's crude oil in FY25, the US share was just 4 per cent. That share did rise to 8 per cent in April and May 2025, but the US remains a minor supplier overall. MEA terms move 'unfair' India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) called the US action ' unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.' It said India's energy sourcing was guided by market pricing and supply security. 'It is extremely unfortunate that the US has chosen to penalise India for decisions being made by several other countries in their own national interest,' the MEA said in a strongly worded statement. PM Modi: Farmers, fishers, dairy will not be sacrificed Addressing the MS Swaminathan Centenary International Conference on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that India would not compromise on the interests of its farmers, fishers, or dairy industry. ' The interest of our farmers is our top priority … I know that I will have to pay a heavy personal price for this. But I am ready for it,' the Prime Minister said. Room for negotiations remains Goldman Sachs has not revised its India GDP forecast yet, but flagged the possibility of further impact if retaliatory actions or broader trade restrictions follow. 'There is a window for negotiation,' the report said, pointing to the three-week gap before the new tariffs come into effect. A day earlier, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held its FY26 GDP growth projection steady at 6.5 per cent, citing a lack of sufficient data to warrant revisions. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, speaking after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, said, ' We do not have sufficient data to revise our GDP forecast,' adding that global uncertainties had already been factored into earlier projections.
