Sensex Falls 300 Points from Day’s High, Nifty Slips Below 24,150 Amid Profit Booking & FII Selling

Indian stock markets showed volatility on May 6, as the BSE Sensex fell nearly 300 points from its intraday high, while Nifty 50 slipped below the 24,150 level.

Despite a strong gap-up opening, the market lost momentum during the session due to profit booking at higher levels. Investors chose to lock in gains after the recent rally, leading to a pullback in indices.

Another key factor was selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), which added pressure on market sentiment and limited further upside.

Although global cues like easing crude oil prices initially supported the rally, uncertainty around geopolitical developments—especially related to US-Iran discussions—kept investors cautious.

Overall, the market remains in a range-bound phase, where upside is capped unless Nifty decisively crosses key resistance levels around 24,250.

Do you think this is just profit booking or the start of a short-term correction in the market?
