General Trends:

Market in the Previous Session:
Indian equity indices slipped on November 18, snapping a six-day winning run, with the Nifty managing to stay slightly above the 25,900 level amid the weekly F&O expiry and weak global cues. Although the market attempted a mid-session rebound, it eventually closed near the day’s low.
At the close, the Sensex slipped 277.93 points, or 0.33%, to 84,673.02, while the Nifty declined 103.40 points, or 0.40%, to 25,910.05.
All major sectoral indices closed in negative territory, with IT, metal, and realty losing around 1% each.
Broader indices remained under pressure, with the Midcap index falling 0.59% and the Small-cap index dropping 1.05%.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty ended lower on Tuesday, snapping its six-day winning streak during the weekly expiry. The index formed a bearish engulfing pattern on the daily chart, indicating profit booking near the 26,000–26,100 zone, which was last month’s high.
The daily stochastic indicator is now in the overbought zone, suggesting that Nifty may consolidate between 26,100 and 25,600 in the near term.
A breakout above 26,100 will be important for the index to move towards its all-time high of 26,277.
Strong support lies in the 25,700–25,600 zone, which aligns with the previous gap (12th November), the 20-day EMA, and key retracement levels. Any dips toward this support area can be used to buy quality large-cap and mid-cap stocks.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,000, followed by 26,110 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,810, followed by 25,720.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,110, followed by 59,300, while downside support is found at 58,640, followed by 58,400.
Nifty:
The 26,000 strike continues to anchor market positioning, holding the highest call and put open interest and therefore serving as the primary pivot for the index.
Today’s session saw a clear dominance of call writers, particularly at the 26,000 and 26,300 strikes, indicating caution at higher levels.
At the same time, put writers were active at 26,000, reaffirming strong support around this zone.
If call writers unwind positions at 26,000 and synthetic futures manage a decisive move above this level, a short-covering rally could extend towards 26,200.
However, failure to sustain above 26,000 may invite selling pressure, potentially pushing the index back towards the 25,800 region.
Bank Nifty:
Bank Nifty displayed a similarly structured setup, with the 59,000 strike carrying the highest call OI and acting as immediate resistance, while the 58,500 strike held the highest put OI, marking it as a crucial support zone.
Notably, both call and put writers unwound positions at 58,500 during the day, suggesting hesitation among participants.
Fresh call writing emerged aggressively at 59,000, reinforcing it as the ceiling for the moment.
A breakout above 59,000, accompanied by unwinding of call positions, could trigger a short-covering wave towards 59,300.
Conversely, sustained trade below 59,000 may keep the index inclined towards retesting the 58,500 support.
Performance Overview:
U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 posting its fourth straight drop — the longest in three months. Concerns over high valuations in AI-related stocks like Nvidia dragged the market lower.
Sector-specific indicator:
The S&P 500 fell 55.09 points, or 0.83%, to 6,617.32. The Dow Jones slipped 499 points, or 1.07%, to 46,091.74. The Nasdaq Composite declined 296 points, or 1.2%, to 24,503.
Economic indicator:
Nvidia will report its earnings after the market closes on Wednesday. With the earnings season ending, investors will be watching closely to see if the results can justify its high valuations and heavy spending.
Economic data is starting to come in again now that the recent government shutdown has ended, and the key U.S. payrolls report is set to be released on Thursday morning.
