Market Meltdown: Sensex Tanks 920 Points! What Should Investors Do Now

⚠️ The Crash No One Saw Coming!

After a powerful 7-day rally, the Indian stock market hit a speed bump today 25-04-2025 — and how! The BSE Sensex nosedived 1160 points, while the Nifty 50 tumbled 380 points, wiping out investor gains and sending shockwaves across Dalal Street.

But what triggered this sudden crash?


๐Ÿงจ What's Behind the Panic?

  1. Geopolitical Tensions:
    A deadly attack in Kashmir has ignited diplomatic tensions, with India reportedly considering downgrading ties with Pakistan.

  2. Global Volatility:
    U.S. markets are jittery, oil prices are climbing, and FIIs are pulling back.

  3. Profit Booking:
    After a long rally, many investors chose today to cash out.
