If you have looked at the performance of the NSE Nifty in 2025, you will think that the Nifty has barely moved in the year. It is hovering around the same level as at the start of the year. However, if you observe the market trend regularly, you will see that February 2025 began with a sharp selloff. There were concerns of doom, stagflation and trade wars. The picture flipped in March 2025. Share prices have mostly recovered from those lows to the level they were at the start of the year.

The trend in the stock market is an eye-opener for both active and passive investors. Many of you could be new to the stock market. The market activity could have tested your temperament as an investor. Many of you would have contemplated exiting the market when prices were falling. You could have wondered why foreign portfolio investors were selling Indian shares, and the value of the rupee was losing ground against major currencies.

As we moved into March, there was euphoria. Share prices have revived, and those who sold quickly could wonder about not showing patience.
