Market in the Previous Session:
Indian equity benchmarks extended their losing streak for a second straight session on January 6, as the Nifty slipped below the 26,200 level amid persistent selling pressure and a cautious risk environment.
At the close, the Sensex declined 376.28 points, or 0.44 percent, to settle at 85,063.34, while the Nifty shed 71.60 points, or 0.27 percent, to end at 26,178.70.
Sectorally, IT, pharmaceuticals, PSU banks, and metal stocks outperformed, posting gains in the range of 0.3–1.7 percent on the back of selective buying. On the other hand, infrastructure, media, oil & gas, and capital goods stocks witnessed sustained selling, with these indices falling 0.6–1.6 percent due to profit booking and cautious positioning.
The broader market tone remained weak as well, with midcap and small-cap indices closing lower by 0.19 percent and 0.22 percent, respectively.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a high wave candle with a lower high and a lower low signaling consolidation with corrective bias for the second session in a row around the all-time high after last week strong up move.
We believe the structure remains positive and a buy-on-decline approach, favouring the bulls as long as the index sustains above the support area of 26,000-25,900, being the confluence of the 50-day EMA and the rising demand line joining the last four months' lows.
Nifty is likely to consolidate in the range of 26,000-26,370, thus forming a base after the recent up move. A breakout above Monday’s high (26,373) will open further upside towards 26,500 initially followed by 26,800-26,900 levels from a short-term perspective.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,230, followed by 26,300 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 26,080, followed by 26,000.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 60,310, followed by 60,500, while downside support is found at 59,810, followed by 59,600.
Nifty:
Options positioning shows the highest call open interest at 26,500, indicating a clear overhead supply zone, while the highest put open interest at 25,500 continues to define the broader support base.
Aggressive call writing above 26,200 signals resistance after the recent rally, while active put writing below this level suggests buying interest on declines.
In this setup, a phase of consolidation around current levels appears likely unless call writers start unwinding and synthetic futures sustain decisively above 26,200.
The current pullback is best viewed as profit booking after the index scaled all-time highs, with no clear signs of trend exhaustion so far.
Bank Nifty:
In Bank Nifty, the highest call and put open interest is concentrated at 59,500, followed by 60,000, marking these as the immediate reference zone.
Strong put writing between 60,000–60,400 points to base formation at higher levels and reinforces the underlying strength.
Call writers were present at similar strikes but remained relatively less aggressive, suggesting limited downside risk.
Overall, the undertone remains bullish, with Bank Nifty continuing to outperform Nifty and displaying better relative strength during the current consolidation phase.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 and Dow closed at a record highs on Tuesday, with the latter ending above 49,000 for first time ever as momentum in AI stocks helped offset weakness in energy stocks.
