India Market Outlook
Market in the Previous Session:
Indian benchmark indices witnessed a volatile yet range-bound session on 30th December, marked by the monthly expiry and Nifty rebalancing activity.
The market struggled to generate sustained momentum and eventually ended marginally lower, weighed down by the absence of strong global cues and persistent selling pressure from the FII desk.
The Sensex slipped 20.46 points (-0.02%) to close at 84,675.08, while the Nifty declined marginally by 3.25 points (-0.01%), settling at 25,938.85, reflecting a lack of directional conviction throughout the session.
On the sectoral front, Nifty Metal, Auto, and PSU Bank stocks provided relative support and contributed positively to the index. However, this strength was offset by profit booking in Realty, Consumer Durables, and IT stocks, which capped the upside and kept the benchmarks confined within a narrow range.
The broader market also remained under pressure, with risk appetite staying subdued. The Nifty Midcap index closed lower by 0.15%, while the Nifty Small cap index underperformed, declining by 0.28%.
TRADE SETUP FOR DEC 31
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a bullish pinbar candlestick, indicating buying interest at lower levels after four consecutive sessions of decline, largely due to intraday volatility around the monthly F&O expiry.
As anticipated, the index is now consolidating, with price action driven mainly by stock-specific movements. This phase is likely to continue, extending the consolidation of the past four weeks within a broad 25,700–26,300 range. A decisive breakout or breakdown from this zone will define the next directional move.
A sustained move above 26,300 could trigger further upside, with potential targets near 26,500 in the coming weeks.
On the hourly chart, the RSI had slipped into oversold territory and has rebounded, signaling the possibility of a short-term pullback from key supports. Immediate support is placed at 25,700–25,800, coinciding with the month’s lows & also the 50-day EMA. Holding above this band keeps the near-term outlook neutral to mildly positive.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 26,080, followed by 26,150 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,900, followed by 25,820.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,350, followed by 59,500, while downside support is found at 58,800, followed by 58,720.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
In the new monthly series, both call and put writing are heavily concentrated at the 26,000 strike, clearly establishing it as the primary pivot and decision point for Nifty.
On the downside, robust put writing in the 26,000–25,900 zone signals a strong support base. However, a decisive break below 25,900 could lead to rapid put unwinding, potentially accelerating downside momentum.
On the upside, meaningful short covering is likely only on a sustained move above 26,000, which would indicate a shift in near-term sentiment.
Overall, the setup remains range-bound with a clearly defined inflection zone. A break on either side is expected to result in a sharp directional move—below 25,900 on the downside or above 26,000 on the upside.
Bank Nifty:
Call and put open interest is concentrated at the 59,500 strike, marking it as the key near-term deciding level for Bank Nifty.
Put writing at in-the-money strikes reflects a constructive underlying bias and confidence in downside support.
On the upside, heavy call writing at 59,500 is likely to restrict gains, with short covering contingent on a sustained move above this level.
Until a clear breakout occurs, Bank Nifty is expected to consolidate, oscillating within the 59,000–59,500 range.
