Benchmarks Extend Decline

Indian equity benchmarks extended their decline on October 14, with the Nifty slipping below the 25,200 mark amid selling across sectors and continued profit booking. Market sentiment remained weak due to ongoing United States–China trade tensions and cautious global cues.

Indian Market Outlook

Gift Nifty suggests a flat opening, with Nifty likely to extend previous session consolidation in the 25,050–25,450 range.

Previous Session Recap (October 13)

Indian equities ended lower, with Nifty around 25,227 and Sensex down 173.77 points (-0.21%) to 82,327.05. After a soft start, the market traded in a tight range with mild downward bias.

Sector-wise, profit-booking dominated metals, telecom, IT, FMCG, capital goods, and consumer durables, declining 0.5–1%. The Midcap index ended flat (+0.01%), while the Small-cap index slipped 0.17%.

Short-term Nifty outlook shows a small bullish candle on the daily chart within the previous session’s range, signaling consolidation with a slightly positive bias. The index has gained ~700 points in the last two weeks, pushing stochastic indicators into overbought territory, suggesting possible short-term consolidation.

Key levels:

Support: 25,150 & 25,060

Resistance: 25,330 & 25,450

Dips near the 25,000–25,100 zone, coinciding with the 20- and 50-day EMAs, can be viewed as buying opportunities. A decisive move above 25,330 could extend the uptrend toward 25,450.

Bank Nifty Intraday Levels

Support: 56,390 & 56,200

Resistance: 56,870 & 57,100
