India Market Outlook
Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark indices in India ended lower for the second consecutive session on May 28, as positive global cues were outweighed by heavy block deals and increased primary market activity. The session saw notable underperformance in consumer-facing sectors, even as market volatility eased, with the India VIX declining nearly 3%.
The Nifty 50 opened on a flat note, oscillated within a narrow range through the day, and ultimately closed lower by 74 points, or 0.30%, at 24,752.45. The Sensex slipped 239 points, or 0.29%, to close at 81,312.32.

Nifty Metal and Nifty Pharma were down 0.6% each, and Nifty Consumer Durables slipped 0.5%. On the flip side, Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Media were the top gainers, each advancing 1%. Overall, the session reflected a cautious undertone in the market amid rotational churn and selective stock-specific action.
TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 29
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index extended decline for the second session in a row as it formed a small bear candle which remained enclosed inside previous session price range signaling consolidation with corrective bias ahead of the monthly F&O expiry.
The index continues to consolidate in the range of 25,200-24,400 in the last 12 sessions. We believe index will extend the consolidation. Dips towards the support area should be used as buying opportunities with immediate hurdle placed at 25,000 levels.
On the lower side 24,700-24,650 is likely to act as immediate support while short-term support is seen at 24,400–24,500 being confluence of 20 days EMA, previous breakout area and last 2 weeks lows.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,870, followed by 25,000 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,650, followed by 24,530.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,750, followed by 56,000, while downside support is found at 55,180, followed by 54,900.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The major call writers remain active at the 26,000 strike, while immediate resistance is visible at the 25,000 and 24,800 strikes, indicating overhead supply at these levels.
On the downside, the lack of strong participation by put writers suggests vulnerability. A breach below the 24,700 level could trigger a further decline toward 24,500.
Both put and call writers are actively participating, which indicates a likely consolidation phase ahead of the monthly expiry. A breakout from this range is expected to result in a directional move.
Max pain for Nifty stands at 24,800
Put-Call Ratio (PCR) declined by 0.06 and is now positioned at 0.76, suggesting increased call writing and a cautious market sentiment.
Bank Nifty:
There is a noticeable concentration of both call and put writing at the 55,400 strike, suggesting a straddle formation and marking it as the key level to watch for the day.
Put writers are active at lower strikes, indicating the formation of multiple support zones. However, significant put unwinding at the 53,000 level is noteworthy and may weaken the lower support.
Based on the option chain data, Bank Nifty’s immediate range is seen between 55,000 and 56,000.
Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for Bank Nifty declined slightly by 0.01 and is now at 0.85, reflecting a slight shift toward neutral-to-bearish sentiment.
