Sensex Falls 500 Pts, Nifty Barely Holds 26,000: Market Report Dec 2 & Tomorrow’s Prediction

Aneri Guidelines
Sensex Crash

Stock Market Report Dec 2 2025| Nifty Prediction Dec 3| Sensex Crash

Date: December 2, 2025 (Tuesday)| Market Sentiment: Bearish / Cautious| Volatility (India VIX): 11.23 (-3.41%)

The Indian equity markets extended their losing streak for the third consecutive session on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. The benchmark Sensex plunged over 500 points, while the Nifty 50 struggled to defend the psychological 26,000 mark, closing just above it at 26,032.

The sell-off was triggered by a “Double Whammy”: The Indian Rupee (INR) hitting a fresh all-time low of 90.02 against the Dollar, and heavy profit-booking in banking heavyweights ahead of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting which begins tomorrow.

In this report, we analyze the key drivers of today’s fall, the sector-wise performance, and the trading setup for Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

1. Market Snapshot: The Bears Take Charge

The market opened in the red and remained under pressure throughout the session. Attempts to recover were sold into, indicating a “Sell on Rise” texture.

Key Observation: Nifty Financial Services (Fin Nifty) was the biggest drag, falling nearly 1% on its expiry day, weighed down by HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank.

2. Why Did the Market Fall Today? (3 Key Reasons)

A. Rupee Hits Historic Low (90.02)

Currency weakness was the primary mood spoiler. The Indian Rupee breached the 90 per USD mark for the first time in history.

  • Impact: A weak rupee spooks foreign investors (FIIs) as it erodes their dollar returns, leading to continued outflows.

B. Pre-RBI Policy Nervousness

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting is scheduled for Dec 3–5.

  • Market Fear: While a rate cut is anticipated, traders are trimming positions to avoid volatility during the event. Banks, being the most sensitive to interest rates, faced the brunt of this caution.

C. Profit Booking in Banking Giants

Private banks like HDFC Bank (-1.07%), ICICI Bank (-1.17%), and Axis Bank (-1.05%) witnessed heavy selling. News of a potential reduction in their weightage in upcoming index rebalancing added to the pressure.

4. Technical Analysis & Prediction for Tomorrow (Dec 3)

Nifty 50 Analysis

  • Candle Pattern: The daily chart shows a Small Bearish Candle with shadows on both sides, indicating indecision but with a negative bias.
  • Support: 26,000 is the final line of defense. Today’s low was 25,997, which was bought into. If this breaks tomorrow, the index could slide to 25,850.
  • Resistance: 26,150 – 26,200. Any bounce to this zone is likely to face selling pressure.

Bank Nifty Analysis

  • Trend: The index closed near its day low, which is bearish.
  • Outlook: It is stuck in a range of 59,000 – 59,500. A breakdown below 59,000 could trigger a fall toward 58,500.

5. Trading Strategy for Tomorrow (Wednesday, Dec 3)

With the RBI policy meeting starting, volatility will remain high but range-bound.

StrategyEntry TriggerTarget (TGT)Stop Loss (SL)
Buy on SupportIf Nifty takes support at 26,00026,12025,950
Sell on RiseIf Nifty rejects from 26,15026,05026,210
Breakdown SellIf Bank Nifty breaks 59,000 (15-min candle)58,75059,150

Pro Tip: “Avoid aggressive overnight positions. The market is in ‘Wait and Watch’ mode until the RBI Governor’s speech on Thursday/Friday.”
