Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 1.5%. The Topix climbed 1% to a record high.
South Korea’s Kospi was 0.15% higher, while the small-cap Kosdaq jumped 0.47%.
Market in Previous Session:
The benchmark indices on Friday witnessed a highly volatile trading session. However, post noon, the market managed to recover from its early losses, aided by positive global cues and investor optimism ahead of the crucial US jobs data.
At the close, the Sensex settled almost flat at 80,710.76, down 7.25 points or 0.01%, while the Nifty ended with a marginal gain of 0.03% at 24,741, up 6.70 points. The flat closing highlights cautious sentiment among market participants, as investors preferred to remain on the sidelines ahead of key economic announcements.

On the flip side, Nifty IT, FMCG, and Realty indices came under pressure, each falling more than 1%, as profit-booking was seen in heavyweights.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a small bearish candle with a long lower shadow near the 100-day EMA, indicating ongoing consolidation amid stock-specific activity.
The price action suggests that the Nifty is likely to continue its range-bound movement, extending the consolidation phase observed over the past two weeks. The broader trading range is expected to remain between 24,400 and 25,000 in the near term.
Immediate support is identified at Friday’s low of 24,620. As long as the index holds above this level, a pullback towards the 25,000 mark remains likely.
However, a break below 24,620 could trigger further downside, dragging the index toward the crucial support zone of 24,400–24,300. This area holds significance as it aligns with recent swing lows and the 200-day EMA, making it an important level to monitor. Overall, the index is likely to remain in a consolidation phase with a focus on stock-specific moves.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,870, followed by 24,980 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,620, followed by 24,540.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 54,470, followed by 54,700, while downside support is found at 53,920, followed by 53,650.
Nifty:
The highest Call OI is noted at 25,000, which will act as immediate resistance. A sustained move above this level could trigger short covering.
Major Put OI is seen at 24,000, followed by 24,500, which will act as crucial and strong support zones.
Call writers have unwound their positions at 24,900 and shifted to higher strikes, indicating a positive bias.
As per the option chain, the decisive range for Nifty is 24,800–25,000. A breakout on either side of this range may trigger a directional move.
The Nifty Put-Call Ratio has increased by 0.02 and now stands at 0.86.
Bank Nifty:
Accumulation of both Call and Put OI at the same strike suggests that Put writers at that level are showing confidence, indicating a positive bias.
Major Put OI is concentrated at 54,000, which will act as strong support, while immediate Call OI is noted at 55,000, which will act as resistance. A move above 54,500 could trigger short covering.
As per the option chain, the decisive range for Bank Nifty is 54,000–55,000. A breakout on either side of this range is likely to trigger a directional move.
The Bank Nifty Put-Call Ratio has declined by 0.01 and now stands at 0.89.
Performance Overview:
