Market in the Previous Session:
Indian equity benchmarks ended marginally lower on January 13th, with the Nifty closing below the 25,750 mark amid weekly F&O expiry-related volatility.
Sentiment was also weighed down by renewed geopolitical concerns after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on countries trading with Iran, raising potential risks for India’s exports and strategic projects such as the Chabahar Port.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index saw high volatility on the weekly expiry day and formed a bearish candle, showing that the market is in a consolidation phase as Q3FY26 earnings begin.
Nifty is currently moving around its 100-day EMA. Monday’s low of 25,473 will act as immediate support. On the upside, the 25,950–26,050 zone will be a key resistance area.
Overall, in the shortened trading week, Nifty is likely to stay in a 25,500–26,000 range. A clear breakout or breakdown will decide the next direction.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,820, followed by 25,910 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,640, followed by 25,550.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,770, followed by 59,950, while downside support is found at 59,310, followed by 58,050.
Nifty:
The highest Call OI is placed at 26,000, while the highest Put OI is at 24,500.
In today’s session, call writers dominated above 25,700 with the largest additions seen at 26,000 and 27,000, indicating strong overhead supply and limited upside comfort.
Put writers remained active below 25,750, with the highest addition at 24,500—signalling deeper downside supports are intact, though the near strikes are not being defended aggressively.
A straddle build-up at 25,700 makes it the key pivot for near-term direction.
Key levels for the session remain 25,700 as support and 26,000 as resistance.
As long as the index stays below 26,000, rallies are expected to face sustained selling pressure.
Bank Nifty:
Highest Call OI and Put OI both stand at 59,500, confirming it as the magnet strike for the index.
During the session, call writers were active above 59,600, thereby capping upside attempts.
On the put side, writers unwound positions between 58,700–59,400, while fresh additions were observed at 57,500 / 59,200 / 59,600—reflecting a choppy to weakening support structure near the money.
Overall, options activity remained muted, suggesting lack of strong conviction from either side.
Key levels are placed at 59,500 as support and 60,000 as resistance.
Unless Bank Nifty reclaims and sustains above 60,000, the setup continues to favour a sell-on-rise approach with a negative bias.
Performance Overview:
Wall Street indices slipped on Tuesday as bank stocks fell on concerns over potential changes in lending policy. Gold hit fresh record highs after U.S. inflation data raised hopes of rate cuts, while oil prices climbed on unrest in Iran despite supply glut worries.
Sector-specific indicator:
Higher food and rent costs pushed CPI up 0.3% last month, taking annual inflation to 2.7%, while core CPI rose 0.2%. The data met expectations and reinforced hopes of further Fed rate cuts.
