Market in Previous Session:
Indian equity markets closed on a positive note today, buoyed by optimism over progress in India-US trade negotiations and expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.
The BSE Sensex climbed by approximately 313 points, or 0.38%, to settle at around 82,693.70, while the NSE Nifty 50 advanced by about 91 points, or 0.36%, closing at 25,330.25. This upward movement reflects improving investor sentiment amid encouraging geopolitical and macroeconomic signals.
One of the key drivers of the rally was renewed hope for an early trade agreement between India and the United States. Officials from both sides described the latest round of talks as “constructive” and “forward-looking,” which boosted confidence in the possibility of a favorable outcome. This development was particularly well-received by investors, who see stronger trade ties with the US as a positive for economic growth and corporate earnings.
PSU Banks lead the gains with a gain of 2.6%, Auto, Information Technology (IT), and Oil & Gas stocks saw notable gains, with these sectors rising between 0.5% to 1%. On the flip side, sectors such as FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), Consumer Durables, Power, Telecom, and Metals ended the session in the red. The Midcap index ended the day flat, reflecting cautious sentiment among mid-sized companies. Meanwhile, the small-cap index closed higher by 0.64%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a bull candle, which continues to maintain a higher high and higher low and a bullish gap below its base ( 25240-25270) signalling extension of the up move. As mentioned in earlier edition, Nifty has recently generated a bullish crossover of 20 and 50 days EMA, highlighting positive bias from short term perspective.
Nifty on yesterday session closed above the immediate resistance area of 25,250 signaling strength and open further upside towards the 25,500 levels in the coming sessions.
On the downside, immediate support is seen near the 24,850 levels being the confluence of the 20- & 50-days EMA and the recent trendline breakout area, holding above the same will keep the bias positive.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,430, followed by 25,500 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,270, followed by 25,200.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,790, followed by 55,000, while downside support is found at 55,250, followed by 54,900.
Nifty:
For the weekly expiry, the highest call OI is positioned at 26,000 while the highest put OI is at 25,200.
In the previous session, call writers were active above 25,300 with the highest addition at 25,500. A decisive move above 25,500 could open the gates for Nifty to march towards the 26,000 mark. On the downside, 25,200 remains a strong support, and only a breach below this level could trigger a correction towards 25,000.
The put–call ratio has improved to 1.21, reflecting a supportive undertone.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty’s highest call OI stands at 56,000 followed by 57,000, while the strongest put writing is at 54,000 and 55,000.
In the previous session, call unwinding along with healthy put writing below 55,500 highlighted a solid base formation around 55,500. Interestingly, unwinding at 57,000 suggests the index may be preparing for a shift in its trading range.
Going forward, 55,000 is expected to act as a reliable support zone, while a sustained move above 56,000 could trigger further momentum towards 57,000.
The put–call ratio at 1.08 also indicates a balanced yet positive bias.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 closed marginally lower on Wednesday, as the Federal Reserve’s rate cut and outlook for two further cuts this year largely met market expectations.
