Market in the Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices settled on a flat to positive note on February 25 in a highly volatile session marking the commencement of the March series, with the Nifty ending below the 25,500 level. The index opened with a gap-up and extended its early momentum to touch an intraday high of 25,653, but selling pressure at higher levels eroded gains, leading to a complete fill of the opening gap.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a high wave candle with a small real body and long shadows in either direction which mostly remained contained inside previous session price range signaling consolidation amid stock specific action.
Nifty on yesterday session reacted lower from the immediate resistance area of 25650, going ahead only a move above the same will signal a pause in the current corrective trend.
As mentioned in earlier edition Index is seen consolidating in the range of 25,350-25,900 in the last 9 sessions. Only a breakout or a breakdown below this range will signal next direction trend. Volatility is likely to remain elevated amid uncertain global cues.
A breach below Tuesday low 25,327 will open further downside towards the 200 days EMA and the previous gap up area placed around 25,100-25,200.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,570, followed by the 25,650 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,370, followed by 25,250.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 61,320, followed by 61,580, while downside support is found at 60,800, followed by 60,560.
Nifty:
OI addition in both Call and Put at the 25,500 strike indicates a key deciding zone, forming a straddle setup.
Active call writing between 25,500–25,700 is creating a strong resistance band; a sustained move above this zone may trigger short covering.
Limited but notable put writing at 25,500 and 25,400 establishes an immediate support cluster.
Synthetic futures are placed around 25,510, positioned close to the make-or-break zone, indicating market balance near critical support.
Any meaningful unwinding by option writers is likely to drive the next directional move — below 25,400 may invite selling pressure, while a breakout above 25,700 could lead to a sharp upside move.
Bank Nifty:
Significant Call and Put OI concentration at 61,000 makes it a crucial deciding level for Bank Nifty.
Fresh call writing at 61,200 and 61,600 marks the immediate resistance zone, while Bank Nifty futures trading near 61,367 suggests 61,200 call writers are under pressure.
Any call unwinding above current levels may trigger an upside move toward 61,600.
A decisive break below 61,000 could trap put writers and accelerate downside momentum.
Bias remains positive as long as the index sustains above 61,000, with a buy-on-dips strategy preferred.
