Investors are closely tracking the government’s fiscal and policy interventions, with emphasis on potential GST rationalization and sectoral stimulus packages aimed at easing tariff-induced headwinds and reinforcing the broader growth trajectory.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a sizable bear candle with a lower high and lower low signaling corrective bias. Index in the process filled the last Monday’s gap up area and closed below the 20- & 50-days EMA.
Going ahead a follow through weakness below the lower band of the last Monday’s gap (24,673) will open further downside towards 24,500-24,400 levels in the coming sessions. While holding above the lower band of the gap will signal consolidation in the range of 24,670-25,000.
The short-term support base is placed at 24,500-24,350 levels being the confluence of the 100 days EMA and the recent lows placed around 24,350 levels.

Nifty:

The options flow clearly highlights the dominance of call writers, particularly active above 24,700, while noticeable put unwinding was seen above 24,800, reinforcing the downside bias.
With the put-call ratio now at 0.72, sentiment remains weak, suggesting that Nifty is likely to witness volatile swings around the 24,500 mark into the monthly expiry.
The broader structure continues to favor the bears unless a decisive shift in positioning emerges.
Bank Nifty:
The highest call OI standing tall at 57,000 followed by 56,000, while fresh put writing has only been evident at 54,000.
During the last session, writers were consistently active above 54,500, while unwinding was witnessed beyond 55,000, another signal of weakening the conviction on the downside protection.
The put-call ratio at 0.51 remains depressed, reinforcing the bearish sentiment.
On the technical front, 54,000 emerges as the critical support zone; a breakdown below this level could accelerate the fall towards 53,500.
Resistance is firmly capped near 55,000, where supply is expected to persist.
