We score this a notable event, 53 out of 100. Across 890 past sessions when the Nifty moved down by a similar amount since 2016, the Nifty was higher five sessions later 56% of the time, with a median move of +0.3%. The record leans positive, but a quarter of those sessions still saw −1.1% or worse. This describes what has happened before; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
