Sensex tanks over 1,400 points: Key factors behind the market crash

NEW DELHI: Selling in financials and private banks weighed on benchmark indices that slid lower on Monday as restrictions in Europe and likely fallout in Brexit negotiations dampened the morale on Dalal Street.

Volatility indicator has also surged significantly, highlighting the nervousness among traders.


A new and faster-transmitting strain of the virus in the UK is an area of concern. This has led to further restrictions on travel and economic activity. Acceleration in the number of 

cases in the US and poor economic data are other dampeners. However, the US Congress agreement on $900 billion of fiscal stimulus is likely to support markets. High valuation continues to be a concern in India. But the power of FII-driven liquidity is overwhelming all negative news.




Factors driving markets:

Virus mutates: Health officials in the UK detected a new strain of virus that is likely to transmit with greater speed, spooking markets across the world. Following the discovery, India along with many other countries, temporarily banned air travel from London.

More limitations: Covid-19 infections continued to affect globally as South Korea and London reported record new coronavirus cases on Sunday, with Britain's health minister suggesting tighter curbs could stay for some time.


How are bluechips going
After opening in the red, benchmark indices dipped lower and went deep in the red during afternoon. BSE flagship Sensex closed 1,406 points, or 3 per cent, lower at 45,554. NSE benchmark Nifty followed and declined 432 points or 3.14 per cent to 13,328.


The Nifty is keeping above the crucial 13,700 level. If we can continue doing that, the markets should be headed to 14,000. A strong support lies at the 13,500-13,600 levels and as long as that holds, the trend of the index remains bullish and traders can utilise any dip to accumulate long positions,” said Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments.

Bitcoin predicted to reach a new record high in July

Bitcoin predicted to reach a new record high in July New York: Bitcoin could be far from its peak of $ 19,511 in mid-December, but it will reach new heights in July, according to Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC. The largest cryptocurrency in the world fell 70% from its peak between December 18th and February 6th, but has since recovered and is trading around the $ 10,000 level. This, says Lee, follows a pattern: Bitcoin funds have a "V" shape. Based on an analysis of 22 corrections of 20% or more that digital currency has seen since 2010, Lee has determined that in "bullish" periods, Bitcoin takes about 1.7 times the duration of its decline to recover . This delay means that it will take 85 days for the cryptocurrency to rebound completely after its last fall, which lasted 50 days, which means that it should reach new records by mid-year. Lee said he has seen the sentiment improve towards bitcoin in recent weeks, indicating that cryptogra

Get ready for most cryptocurrencies to hit zero: Goldman Sachs The cryptocurrency decline that has erased nearly $ 500 billion of market value over the past month could worsen, according to Goldman Sachs Hong Kong: The drop in cryptocurrencies that has wiped out almost $ 500 billion in market value over the past month could be much worse, according to Goldman Sachs, global director of investment research.

Although he did not set a deadline for losses on existing parts, he said that recent price fluctuations indicated a bubble and that the tendency of different parties to move was not rational. "The strong correlation between different cryptocurrencies worries me," Strongin said. "Due to the lack of intrinsic value, currencies that do not su
