Sensex, Nifty fall 1% each: 4 key factors that are pulling market down

The market lost more than a percent on October 28 in day trading. The broader markets also corrected, but less than benchmark indices as the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices were down around half a percent each.

The BSE Sensex fell 488.28 points or 1.20 percent to 40,033.82, and the Nifty50 dropped 128.10 points or 1.08 percent to 11.761.30.

“Indian market is expected to follow global cues with an increase in volatility in the coming days as we are heading closer to the US election and more economic restrictions due to the devastating rise of COVID cases,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

India continued to report better recovery rate and lowered active cases week-after-week, but the situtation in United States and some nations in Europe looks tense as the coronavirus infections, hospitalisation and deaths increased sharply again.

As a result, the governments announced further restriction measures to avoid the spread of virus, which ultimately could impact global growth.

Media reports indicated that France may announce complete lockdown to contain the virus outbreak. Mainland China also reported increase in virus infections.

Investors also looked cautious ahead of the US presidential elections scheduled to be held on November 3. Reports indicated that there could be tough competition between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, and the surveys indicated that Democrats have more chance in the elections, over Republicans and the number of people to vote is expected to be more than previous several elections.

US President Donald Trump clearly stated that there won’t be coronavirus relief bill before election, which has not yet cleared amid several negotiations between Republicans and Democrats.

Banking & financials were leaders in fall as the Nifty Bank and Financial Service indices fell more than 2 percent each. The Bank Nifty formed bearish candle on the daily charts.

IndusInd Bank, Federal Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and Bank of Baroda were down 1.5-3 percent.

IT lost over a percent, while FMCG, Pharma and Metal indices were down more than half a percent.

The Nifty50 corrected a percent and formed bearish candle on the daily charts, but overall trend of last few sessions indicated that the index has been in a range of 300-400 points and is expected to remain in same range in coming days too.

“The index is still stuck in a range between 11,650 and 12,050. While choppy markets can test a trader’s patience, one must exercise caution and avoid trading in rangebound markets,” Manish Hathiramani, Proprietary Index Trader and Technical Analyst at Deen Dayal Investments told Moneycontrol.

“If we can get past 12,050, the Nifty can achieve 12,200-12,300. If it breaks 11,650, we could drop to 11,400-11,450,” he said.

Train smarter, not harder: How taking occasional breaks from gym can revolutionise your fitness routine

Taking regular breaks from intense training, like deload weeks, helps your body recover, preventing fatigue and injury, and ultimately boosts fitness gains.

When it comes to getting fit, the idea of spending hours at the gym might come to mind, but many fitness experts argue that taking a “deload week” every six to eight weeks is actually key to improving your fitness gains. A deload week involves reducing the intensity of workouts to allow the body to recover from the fatigue and muscle damage caused by intense training.

While high-intensity training helps build strength and fitness, it can also lead to muscle strain, and without adequate recovery, these gains can’t fully materialise. Deload weeks give the body much-needed rest to repair and rebuild, ensuring continued progress. (Also read: Bhagyashree swears by this super easy exercise for instant leg pain relief and better mobility.

Why recovery is key for muscle growth

According to an article by The Conversation, intense exercise can cause tiny tears in muscle fibres, leading to inflammation that requires rest or low-intensity exercise to heal. This inflammation is essential for muscle growth and fitness improvements. However, without proper recovery, muscles remain in a state of slight damage, preventing inflammation from resolving. This chronic state of inflammation can hinder muscle function, reducing oxygen efficiency and impairing performance. Giving muscles time to recover through rest ensures they repair properly and are primed for continued progress, setting us up for greater success in our fitness journey.

Many gymgoers fear taking time off and are worried it will lead to a loss of gains. However, research shows that muscle genes have a “memory imprint,” which keeps them in a semi-prepared state. This allows muscles to respond more quickly and effectively to future training, promoting growth after a rest period. Even after extended periods of reduced intensity, up to seven weeks, muscular fitness can be restored to prime condition—and in some cases, surpass previous levels. Interestingly, recovery can occur twice as fast as it took to reach peak fitness initially, even if some strength is lost.

Taking time off from intense training is crucial to prevent muscle soreness and avoid overtraining syndrome. Overtraining occurs when the body doesn’t get enough rest, leading to prolonged fatigue, decreased performance, and mood disturbances. Symptoms develop gradually, making overtraining difficult to recognize until it’s severe. Rest is essential to avoid these issues and ensure long-term progress in training.

Role of overtraining syndrome and deload weeks

Overtraining syndrome is challenging to quantify due to its vague symptoms. Studies suggest it may affect as few as 10% of elite athletes, though rates could climb to 60% among highly competitive individuals. Recovery is essential for both fitness and overall health. When engaging in heavy gym routines, it’s vital to incorporate sufficient recovery time into your workout plan. Unlike rest days, which involve little to no exercise once or twice a week, deload weeks feature lighter training at reduced intensity—typically about 50% fewer workouts or a 20% drop in workout intensity.

Both rest days and deload weeks are essential for recovery and crucial to improving fitness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—they complement each other. For instance, intense training for marathons, Ironman, or CrossFit competitions requires weekly rest days alongside scheduled deload weeks. However, for recreational gym-goers exercising 1–3 times weekly at a moderate intensity, the recovery from this routine is often sufficient without the need for additional deload weeks.

Fitness influencers recommend incorporating deload weeks into training schedules every 4–8 weeks, aligning closely with the expert advice of 4–6 weeks. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and schedule deload weeks as needed. If your performance plateaus or worsens, it may signal time for a deload. Training plans should be flexible enough to allow rest when required. Deload weeks not only enhance performance but also support overall health.
