Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bearish candlestick pattern with a lower high and lower low signaling profit booking at higher levels near last week high of 26,100.
In the last six sessions, on expected lines Nifty has been moving sideways within a range of 26,100–25,700. We expect the current consolidation to extend in the coming sessions.
The broader market trajectory continues to exhibit a bullish bias, reaffirming that the primary uptrend remains firmly in place. The ongoing phase of consolidation is best interpreted as a healthy retracement and time correction following a sharp 1,500-point up move over the past four weeks. Hence, should be used to accumulate quality stocks.
We expect the index to breakout above 26,100 in the coming week and head towards its previous all-time high of 26,277 and then to 26,500 in the near term.
Strong support is seen around 25,700–25,500, which is likely to hold as it marks the recent breakout zone.

Nifty:
Major Call writers remain active at the 27,000 strike, while fresh writing has emerged at the 26,000 strike, which now acts as the immediate resistance for the index.
On the other hand, Put writers have unwound positions at 26,000 and shifted towards the 25,900 strike, indicating weakening support .
The combination of aggressive Call writing and Put unwinding reflects a defensive bias,.
As per the option chain setup, the immediate range for Nifty is seen between 25,900 and 26,000, and a decisive breakout on either side is likely to trigger the next directional move.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) declined by 0.39 points to 0.75.
Bank Nifty:
The highest Put writers continue to hold positions at the 58,000 strike, which will act as a key support zone for the index.
Meanwhile, Call writers remain active at the 57,000, 58,000, and 58,500 strikes, reflecting limited upside potential unless significant unwinding takes place.
The 58,500 level will act as an immediate resistance, while a sustained move above it could trigger short covering.
In the near term, Bank Nifty is expected to trade within the 58,000–58,500 range, with a breakout beyond this band likely to dictate the next directional move.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) for Bank Nifty declined by 0.10 points to 0.98.
