Indian stock markets saw a strong bounce during Wednesday’s trading session, but both major indices still ended the day lower due to selling pressure. The session was highly volatile, with sharp ups and downs, reflecting uncertainty among investors.

The BSE Sensex fell by 270.84 points, or 0.33 per cent, to close at 81,909.63, marking the third consecutive day of losses. The NSE Nifty also declined, slipping 75 points, or 0.30 per cent, to settle at 25,157.50.

During the day, both indices had hit significant intraday lows. The Sensex dropped to 81,124.45 before recovering 785.18 points from that level. Likewise, the Nifty fell to 24,919.80 but bounced back 237.7 points later in the session. These sharp recoveries showed that investors were trying to buy at lower levels, but the late selling pressure prevented a fully positive close.

Experts said the market’s movement reflected uncertainty in global and domestic cues, along with cautious investor sentiment. Sectors such as banking, IT, and energy influenced the swings, with mixed performances across stocks.

Overall, Wednesday’s session highlighted the market’s high volatility, where sharp intraday recoveries were offset by profit-taking, keeping both the Sensex and Nifty in negative territory at the close. Investors are advised to watch global trends and domestic developments closely in the coming sessions.
