Gold extended its safe-haven rally to fresh record highs, with spot prices up 0.47% at $3,763.82 an ounce.
General Trends:
Asian markets fell as a tech selloff broke the S&P 500’s three-day winning streak and conflicting Fed messages added uncertainty over future rate cuts.
Sector-Specific Indicator:
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index opened down 0.2%, dragged by losses in Japan, Australia, and South Korea. Hong Kong futures suggested a flat start as the city prepares for Typhoon Ragasa.
Market in Previous Session:
On September 23rd, Indian benchmark indices witnessed high volatility and ended the session slightly lower. Investor sentiment remained cautious amid concerns over currency depreciation, foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, and global policy uncertainties. Despite the choppiness, selective buying in major banks, steelmakers, and auto stocks offered some support to the market. The Indian rupee weakened further, hitting a record low and settling at 88.75 against the US dollar.
At the close, the Sensex settled at 82,102.10, down 57.87 points (0.07%), while the Nifty ended at 25,169.50, lower by 32.85 points (0.13%).
On the sectoral front, Nifty Metal, Auto, and PSU Banks showed relative strength, whereas FMCG, Realty, IT, and select other sectors lagged behind.
Broader markets too faced selling pressure, with the Nifty Midcap 100 declining 0.35% and the Nifty Small cap index slipping 0.53%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a second consecutive high wave candle with a lower high and lower low in the daily chart. The price action underscores consolidation with corrective bias for the third session in a row following a sharp 1,000-point rally over the past three weeks.
Nifty on expected lines is seen consolidating in a range for the third session in a row. We expect it to extend the same and trade in the range of 25,500–25,000 in the coming sessions.
The immediate support base is seen at 25,100–24,900, which coincides with the confluence of the 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMA).
We maintain the overall positive bias and believe the ongoing corrective pullback presents a tactical buying opportunity within the broader uptrend. On the upside, the index faces immediate resistance at the 25,500–25,600 zone.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,260, followed by 25,350 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,080, followed by 25,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 55,830, followed by 56,000, while downside support is found at 55,230, followed by 55,000.
Nifty:
The index continues to show resilience with option data tilting slightly in favor of the bulls. Highest call OI stands at 26000 followed by 25500, while the strongest put base remains at 25000. FIIs added fresh longs (1004 contracts) and covered shorts (1072 contracts), improving the L/S ratio to 0.16 — a marginal but constructive shift.
On the options front, call writers were aggressive above 25200, especially at 25500, whereas put writers added positions at 25200, reaffirming it as a key support zone. As long as Nifty sustains above 25300, a move towards 25500 looks probable. On the downside, 25200 remains crucial support; dips towards this zone should be seen as buying opportunities with 25000 as the next support layer.
The Put-Call Ratio at 0.97 reflects a balanced market, keeping the buy-on-dips strategy intact.
Bank Nifty:
Option positioning indicates strength with the highest call OI at 56000, while the heaviest put writing is clustered at 54000 and 55000. The straddle formation at 55500 makes it the pivotal level to watch.
In the previous session, call writers shifted higher towards 56700 and 57200, coupled with unwinding below 56000 — a bullish sign of resistance moving upward. Put writers were active below 55700, lending strong support to current levels.
If Bank Nifty sustains above 55500, upside towards 56000 remains open. On the lower side, 55500 acts as immediate support, with 55000 as the next cushion. With PCR at 1.12, the undertone is positive and pullbacks should continue to offer buying opportunities.
Performance Overview:
Wall Street snapped a three-day AI-driven rally on Tuesday, while U.S. Treasury yields fell after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signalled a cautious stance on the next interest rate move.
Sector-specific indicator:
The Nasdaq Composite led declines, falling 0.95% to 22,573. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.19% to 46292, and the S&P 500 fell 0.55% to 6656.
Economic indicator:
The Fed chief gave little indication of when another rate cut might follow last week’s move, stressing the delicate balance between containing inflation and addressing labor market softness.
