India Market Outlook

  1. Market in the Previous Session:

    • Indian benchmark indices ended sharply lower on January 8 as cautious sentiment prevailed amid fresh concerns over potential US tariff measures and sustained foreign investor outflows. The Nifty slipped below the 25,900 level, reflecting broad-based selling pressure across the market.

    • The Sensex declined 780.18 points, or 0.92%, to settle at 84,180.96, while the Nifty dropped 263.90 points, or 1.01%, to close at 25,876.85.

TRADE SETUP FOR JAN 09

  1. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The index formed a sizable bearish candle with a lower high and a lower low, indicating an extension of the corrective decline for the fourth consecutive session.

    • Contrary to expectations, the index closed below the key support zone of 26,000–25,900. In the process, it also slipped below the rising trendline connecting recent swing lows and the 50-day EMA for the first time since 3rd October 2025, highlighting a deterioration in short-term price structure.

    • Looking ahead, sustained follow-through weakness could open further downside towards the 25,700–25,600 region. This zone represents a confluence of the previous month’s low and the 100-day EMA, making it an important medium-term support area.

    • On the shorter-term horizon, momentum indicators suggest the market is in an oversold territory. Therefore, a technical pullback cannot be ruled out. However, for the corrective decline to pause, the index must close above the previous session’s high and decisively reclaim the 26,100 level.

  2. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,970, followed by 26,050 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,790, followed by 25,700.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 59,900, followed by 60,150, while downside support is found at 59,500, followed by 59,210.

Derivative Market Analysis

  1. Nifty:

    • Weekly options data supports this view, as aggressive call writing was observed up to the 25,900 strike while put writing below 25,900 remained minimal, highlighting weak support formation. 

    • In the monthly option chain, in-the-money call writing was seen up to the 25,600 level, further capping any upside attempts. 

    • Additionally, Nifty Futures open interest rose sharply by 15.7%, pointing to fresh short build-up, primarily driven by FII activity, which strengthens the bearish outlook.

  2. Bank Nifty:

    • Options data continues to reflect bearish positioning, with call writers maintaining dominance and in-the-money call writing visible up to the 59,600 level. 

    • Bank Nifty Futures open interest declined by 6.9%, signaling long unwinding rather than aggressive fresh shorts at this stage. 

    • Notably, futures open interest is hovering near five-year low levels, indicating reduced participation. 

    • While meaningful short addition has not yet emerged, any fresh short build-up in the coming sessions would materially strengthen the bearish case for Bank Nifty and increase the probability of further downside follow-through.

US Share Market News

  1. Performance Overview:

    • The S&P 500 closed flat in directionless trading on Thursday, as the melt-up in chip stocks took a breather, but gains in cyclical sectors including consumer and energy stocks kept broader market losses in check just a day ahead of a vital monthly jobs report.

  2. Sector-specific indicator: 

    • The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 269 points, or 0.6%, the S&P 500 index dropped 0.02%, and the NASDAQ Composite fell 0.4%.
