Stocks To Watch Today: The Days Has Arrived And All We Can Do Is Try To Save As Much As We Can. So let’s Look At The Charts

The Indian stock market steps into Monday, March 2, 2026, with curiosity mixed with caution as traders wake up to a world where geopolitics is louder than price action. Escalating tensions between United States, Israel, and Iran have turned global screens from green to nervous red, after reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in weekend strikes and Donald Trump signaled continued military action. Counterstrikes across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain have pushed oil higher and certainty lower.

For traders, the real question is no longer just where is support?-but what is the next headline? As GIFT Nifty hints at a gap-down start, Dalal Street opens with one suspenseful theme: will charts guide the market today, or will global tensions rewrite the trend before the first candle even settles?
