The Market Keeps Falling… What Now? 📉

The Budget is already out, but the market’s downfall doesn’t seem to stop. Looks like everyone’s wondering the same thing:

  • When will the market recover?
  • How will it bounce back?

How is your Portfolio doing ? ( :innocent:/ :sob: )

Well good thing and thanks to Team Dhan for delaying the demat MF launch. I was in 100% cash waiting for Dhan demat MF. I know that sounds immature but it is what it is.

Yesterday, I deployed the half of that in smallcap MF and stocks in AngelOne.

It’s sort of a lucky me situation. :rofl: Thank you once again for delaying the demat MF launch. I got a good bang for the buck. @Divyesh @PravinJ

Nobody can time the market with any certainty @Divyesh. Markets move in cycles. If there was a bull market there was also a following bear market. History keeps repeating :slightly_smiling_face:

Could not agree more. People witnessed the bull cycle and everyone was jumping on the stock market bandwagon. Now, in this bearish cycle and with SEBI’s curb on option trading, most retail traders have either switched to mutual funds or are doing minimal stock investments.

As far as the portfolio is concerned, I still believe that if you are a long-term investor and have invested in quality stocks, there is no need to worry.

A few points for the fall, which I believe are:

  • Poor results from companies in many sectors.
  • US tariff fears.
  • Rupee depreciation.

There can be a dozen other reasons. For now, I believe portfolios are in the red. Once it stabilizes, it will turn green; till then, I will wait.

P.S. My portfolio is also in the red. :smiley:

Finding a number that feels right can be a challenge. Still, for the list that is kept updated, the values have dropped by 20%.

But for those who have been invested for a while, the overall profit and loss might not matter too much, and they could even be in the positive.

Many strong companies have lost 40-50% of their value from ATH, but this isn’t because their sales or profits are down. Instead, it’s because there isn’t enough money available in the market to support their value.

I’m uncertain about how long it will take or what will happen to help recover these lost valuation.

As we all look forward to their official meeting.

I feel like downside is still remaining. Nifty close above 24000 decisively will be called uptrend
Till then, as per my thinking 22000-22500 could be final range after which market may bounce back.

  • A good budget
  • A good monetary policy
  • Income tax rate cut
  • Fine earnings from large caps

Still markets falling…This might be a sign that we were a bit overheated and weak hands are now leaving the markets.

So until anything super positive comes in, 22500 is always open to test.

After stepdown Nirmala Sitharaman market will recover I think…

Portfolio is red. I see a target of 21800 from current level if it breaches 22800 tomorrow.

From 21800 I feel it should recover if not at 22800.

Here’s what Groww says about falling markets. Good wisdom for all.

I recall a few years ago when their ads were everywhere on Google, boldly claiming that investing just 100 or 200 rupees a month could make someone rich and prosperous. Or something rhyming in those lines selling big dreams to someone on daily wages browsing the google play store.

You would click on those ads without thinking, and before you knew it, you’d have a demat account set up in no time.

The chickens have finally arrived home, and now they must work hard to satisfy the clients who trusted them with their promises.
