Indian markets are expected to start on a cautious note, with Gift Nifty indicating a negative opening. Global cues remain mixed, crude oil prices have moved higher amid Middle East tensions, and FII activity continues to weigh on market sentiment.

Nifty spot is likely to trade in the range of 23,850-24,300 in today’s session.

In the previous session, Indian benchmark indices ended on a weak note, with the Nifty slipping below the 24,200 mark. Subdued global cues, rising crude oil prices, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran, and persistent FII selling weighed on overall market sentiment.

At close, the Sensex declined 516.33 points, or 0.66%, to settle at 77,328.19, while the Nifty fell 150.50 points, or 0.62%, to close at 24,176.15.

Among sectoral indices, PSU Banks, Private Banks, Metals, Realty, and Oil & Gas were the major laggards. The IT index outperformed, ending higher by 1.2%.

The broader market also saw mixed action. The Midcap 100 index declined 0.15% after recently touching an all-time high, while the Smallcap 100 index advanced 0.22%, showing that buying interest remained intact in select pockets.

Nifty formed a small bearish candlestick pattern in the previous session, along with a small bearish gap in the 24,253-24,284 zone. This signals consolidation with a corrective bias amid stock-specific action.

Over the last three weeks, Nifty has been trading in a triangular consolidation pattern within the broad range of 23,800-24,400. The index is expected to extend this consolidation, with stock-specific action likely to remain in focus as the quarterly earnings season progresses.

A breakout and close above 24,400 may open further upside towards 24,600 and 24,800 levels. However, failure to move above 24,400 may extend the ongoing consolidation in the 23,800-24,400 range. Short-term support is placed at 23,800, which has acted as an almost identical low over the last three weeks.
For Nifty, intraday resistance is placed at 24,220 and 24,300, while support is seen at 23,970 and 23,850. For Bank Nifty, resistance is placed at 55,500 and 55,770, while support is seen at 54,680 and 54,300.

U.S. markets closed positive, led by strong technology momentum. The Nasdaq rose 1.71%, while the Dow remained nearly flat at 0.02%. Brent crude jumped 4.38% to 104.63 amid renewed Middle East supply concerns, adding volatility to global risk sentiment. Wall Street ended the week on a firm note, though oil price movement and U.S.-Iran tensions moderated gains.

Asian markets traded mixed this morning. The Nikkei 225 rose 0.89%, supported by tech momentum, while the S&P/ASX 200 declined 1.51%. KOSPI traded with mild gains, tracking Nasdaq strength, while Hang Seng was expected to open mixed amid global cues and oil volatility.

Market participants will track crude oil movement, U.S.-Iran developments, China CPI and PPI data, FII activity, options positioning, and key Nifty levels through the session.
