Stock Market Highlights: Nifty forms a hammer candle on daily scale. How to trade on Tuesday?
US President Donald Trump waging a tariff war on Canada, Mexico and China sent a chill into global markets as major European and Asian indices including India’s headline indices reeled under selling pressure on Monday. Bank’s energy and FMCG stocks fell most even as the IT sector tried to salvage some pride. Meanwhile, Saturday’s budget announcements or rather lack of them for capex intensive sectors, soured the D-Street sentiments as well. While the 30-stock S&P BSE Sensex finished flat at 77,186.74, declining by 319.22 points or 0.41%, the broader Nifty fell by 31.75 points or 0.52% to close at 23,361.05.Commenting on the day’s action, Dr. Praveen Dwarakanath, Vice President of Hedged.in highlighted Nifty exhibiting strength taking support from the middle of the Bollinger band after a sudden fall during the day. “The momentum indicators on the hourly chart, after a drop of below 50 levels, show a rise, also indicating positive sentiments in the index. The index formed a candle with a bullish closing, indicating the momentum to continue towards the next resistance at 23,800 levels. Options writer’s data for the weekly expiry showed increased writing of puts at the 23,300 and below levels and increased writing of calls at the 23,500 and above levels, indicating a range bound index,” Dwarakanath.
Stock Market Highlights: Nifty forms a hammer candle on daily scale. How to trade on Tuesday?The Nifty index showed resilience on Monday as it formed a hammer candle on the daily scale, indicating a potential reversal in the near future. This bullish candlestick pattern suggests that the market may have found a support level and could potentially move higher in the upcoming sessions.
Traders can look for buying opportunities on Tuesday, keeping a stop loss below the low of the hammer candle. If the Nifty index breaks above the high of the hammer candle, it could signal a bullish trend continuation. On the other hand, if the index fails to sustain above the high of the hammer candle, traders should be cautious and consider booking profits or tightening stop-loss levels.
Overall, the market sentiment remains positive, and traders should look for opportunities to go long on quality stocks with strong fundamentals. It is essential to stay updated with the latest news and market developments to make informed trading decisions. Happy trading!

A heavy weight thrown by a participant at an indoor high school track meet cleared safety barriers and struck and killed a spectator in Colorado Springs on Sunday, the event organizers said.
“A member of the attending audience was killed when a hammer thrown by a participant cleared certified barriers and struck him,” said a statement from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, which hosted the meet at its Mountain Lion Fieldhouse.
The meet was canceled after the incident.
A spokeswoman for the El Paso County coroner’s office said on Monday that it had not performed an autopsy and could not yet release the name of the person who was killed.
The Colorado United Track Club said in an email reported by 11 News and other local news media that the victim was the father of one of its team members.
In the more familiar hammer throw, contested outdoors at events like the Olympics, competitors spin around in a circle to build momentum and then release a heavy ball on a chain, which is known as a hammer.
For safety, the spinning takes place in a cage with an open segment for the hammer to go through when it is released.
At indoor meets like the one in Colorado Springs, the event is normally renamed the weight throw.
The implement is attached to a grip, rather than a chain, and is heavier than the hammer so that it does not travel as far. As in the hammer competition, the thrower is within a cage or netting.
At the Olympic Games, men can throw the hammer well over 200 feet. High school boys typically throw a 25-pound weight indoors, but they can still throw it quite a distance: The record for that age group is currently more than 90 feet.
Hammer and other throwing events can be dangerous, and cases of injury to competitors, officials and spectators are not rare.
As recently as September, a teenager was critically injured by a hammer at a meet in Australia.
Javelins can be thrown even farther than hammers, and their sharp tips also contribute to the danger. Even at the sport’s highest levels, disaster can occur.
In 2008, at the Golden League in Rome, the top level of the professional sport, a javelin thrown by an elite athlete struck a long jumper, Salim Sdiri of France, causing severe internal injuries.
In a tragic turn of events at a track meet, a spectator was killed by a weight tossed in the indoor hammer throw event. The incident occurred during a competition when the weight, which can weigh up to 35 pounds, flew out of the designated throwing area and struck a spectator in the stands.Emergency services were immediately called to the scene, but unfortunately, the spectator succumbed to their injuries. The athlete involved in the throw was said to be devastated by the accident and is cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers present in track and field events, even for spectators. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time. Safety measures and precautions must be strictly enforced to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

Spectator killed after hammer reportedly goes out of bounds at high school track and field meet in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – A spectator at a high school track and field meet was killed after an athlete’s hammer reportedly went out of bounds Sunday morning.
UCCS, which hosted the meet, said it was heartbroken over what it called a “horrible accident.”
“We are heartbroken at this horrible accident and are focused on supporting all involved,” said UCCS Chancellor Jennifer Sobanet in a statement obtained by 11 News.
According to UCCS, the student’s hammer was thrown past the certified barriers, hitting a spectator sitting in the stands.
“A member of the attending audience was killed when a hammer thrown by a participant cleared certified barriers and struck him. The Colorado Springs Fire Department responded, provided medical care and ultimately pronounced the audience member dead at the scene. Members of the UCCS Police Department and Colorado Springs Police Department were on scene,” UCCS said.
The university has not identified the victim, including whether the victim was a parent or other relative, but an 11 News viewer shared a statement they said they got from Colorado United Track Club.
The message sent to that viewer also said officials were working with District 12 social workers to determine how to best support students who attended the event as well as the families involved.
We will continue to update this story as we learn more.

Spectator killed by hammer throw during track meet at UCCS fieldhouse
A man was killed Sunday morning during a high school track and field meet at a fieldhouse on the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus, school officials said.
UCCS spokesperson Chris Valentine said in a news release the man, who was watching in the audience at the Mountain Lion Fieldhouse, died when a hammer weight thrown by a participant cleared “certified barriers” and struck him.
The hammer throw involves hurling a metal weight — attached to a chain and grip — as far as possible after generating momentum by spinning in a circle.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department responded to the accident after the man was struck at about 9:30 a.m., the release said. UCCS and Colorado Springs police officers also responded.
Paramedics provided medical care, but the man was declared dead at the scene, according to the news release.
“We are heartbroken at this horrible accident and are focused on supporting all involved,” UCCS Chancellor Jennifer Sobanet said in the release.
The track meet was one of a three-meet series for club sport high school students across the state, according to the release. The first meet was on Dec. 15, 2024.
The man will be identified at a later date by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office.

Tragic Accident at UCCS Fieldhouse: Spectator Killed by Hammer Throw during Track MeetIn a devastating turn of events, a spectator was killed during a track meet at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) Fieldhouse when they were struck by a hammer throw.
The incident occurred during a track and field competition, where athletes were participating in the hammer throw event. The spectator, whose identity has not been released, was in a restricted area near the field when they were hit by the heavy metal ball attached to a wire.
Emergency responders were immediately called to the scene, but unfortunately, the injuries sustained were fatal. The UCCS athletic department expressed their deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim, and stated that they are cooperating with authorities to investigate the incident.
The hammer throw is a highly technical and dangerous event in track and field, requiring athletes to have a designated throwing area and for spectators to be kept at a safe distance. It is unclear at this time how the spectator ended up in the restricted area.
Our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones during this difficult time. We hope that this tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of safety protocols at sporting events, and that steps will be taken to prevent such accidents from happening in the future.

Errant hammer throw at youth track meet kills spectator
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — An errant weight thrown by a competitor struck and killed a spectator at a youth track and field meet in Colorado, according to officials at the university where the competition was held.
The hammer — a heavy ball on a chain — in the hammer throw event cleared certified barriers before striking the man Sunday morning at the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus, according to a university statement.
Firefighters pronounced the man dead at the scene. He apparently had tried to shield his wife and son from the ball, KRDO-TV reported.
He was the father of a competitor for the Colorado United Track Club that hosted the event for high school-age athletes from around the state, according to the station.
Authorities also did not identify the athlete who threw the hammer.
“We are heartbroken at this horrible accident and are focused on supporting all involved,” campus Chancellor Jennifer Sobanet said in a statement.
The weight used in the hammer throw event weighs 16 pounds for men and 9 pounds for women in adult competition, according to World Athletics, the international track and field governing body.
Fatal accidents at track and field competitions are rare. A hammer killed a student at a college track and field meet at Wheaton College in Illinois in 2017.
A shot put struck and killed an officiant during practice at the U.S. track and field championships in Los Angeles in 2005.
This past weekend at a youth track meet, tragedy struck when an errant hammer throw resulted in the death of a spectator. The event, which was supposed to be a fun and competitive gathering for young athletes, quickly turned into a somber and heartbreaking scene.The hammer throw is a track and field event where athletes throw a heavy metal ball attached to a wire. It requires precision, strength, and skill to execute safely. Unfortunately, in this instance, something went terribly wrong.
The thrower, whose name has not been released, lost control of the hammer mid-throw, sending it veering off course and into the stands where spectators were seated. One unlucky individual was struck by the hammer and tragically lost their life as a result.
The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the inherent dangers present in sports, even at the youth level. It also raises questions about the safety protocols in place at such events and the need for stricter regulations to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victim, as well as to all those affected by this terrible tragedy. May this serve as a wake-up call for the sporting community to prioritize safety above all else.
