According to reports, the much-anticipated mini trade deal between India and the U.S. is likely to be announced soon, offering a potential boost to investor sentiment.

TRADE SETUP FOR JUL 09
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish candlestick pattern with a higher high and higher low, signalling continuation of the consolidation with a positive bias for the third consecutive session.
Going forward, we expect the Nifty to move gradually towards the immediate resistance level of 25,600. A decisive breakout above this level could open further upside towards the 25,800 mark. However, failure to sustain above 25,600 may prolong the ongoing consolidation within the 25,600–25,330 range.
Structurally, the broader trend remains positive, and the index is likely to trade within the 25,200–25,800 band in the near term. Key positional support is placed at 25,200–25,000, which coincides with the 20-day EMA and the upper edge of the prior consolidation zone (25,200–24,500). We maintain a buy-on-dips strategy as long as the index holds above this critical support area.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,600, followed by 25,670 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,420, followed by 25,330.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 57,430, followed by 57,650, while downside support is found at 56,920, followed by 56,700.
Nifty:
The Nifty index is exhibiting signs of a bullish setup. The highest call open interest (OI) stands at 26,000, while the highest put OI is at 25,400, suggesting a broad range of market positioning.
Notably, in the previous session, put writers were active below the 25,500 mark, while call unwinding was observed between 25,400 and 25,600 — a positive signal for the bulls.
A straddle has formed at the 25,500 level, which is likely to act as a pivotal support in the near term. The 25,700 mark remains a key resistance; a breakout above this level could pave the way for a rally towards 26,000.
In the derivatives segment, FIIs added 2,783 long contracts in index futures while adding 4,193 short contracts, improving the long-to-short ratio to 0.40. Open interest rose by 4.2%, indicating a buildup of long positions.
The put-call ratio (PCR) has moved to 1.04, further supporting the bullish bias.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty is showing strength with both the highest call and put OI concentrated at the 56,000 strike, followed by notable activity at 57,000 — highlighting these as key pivot zones.
In the last session, put writers were dominant below the 57,500 mark, and call unwinding at 57,000 suggests bullish sentiment. The 57,000 level is emerging as a crucial support; holding above it could keep the index in a positive zone, while a break below may trigger a move towards 56,000.
On the upside, 57,500 remains an immediate resistance. The broader expected range for Bank Nifty is seen between 57,000 and 58,000. Open interest rose by 2.4%, reflecting long buildup, and the put-call ratio now stands at 1.02, indicating balanced but slightly bullish positioning.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 struggled for direction on Tuesday as investors assessed the economic impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest salvo in his aggressive tariff agenda.

Sector-Specific Index:

Trump told reporters that his administration won’t grant extensions to reciprocal tariffs that were delayed to Aug. 1 from a prior deadline of July 9, keeping the economic threat of a trade war alive should negotiations prove unsuccessful before the new deadline.
Economic Indicators:
On the economic front, the focus this week is on the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s June meeting, which are due on Wednesday. The Fed has maintained its stance on keeping rates steady until the inflationary effects of Trump’s tariffs become clearer.
