TRADE SETUP FOR JUL 25
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
On the daily timeframe, Nifty registered a bearish engulfing pattern, indicative of distribution pressure and profit booking near the prior swing high of 25,250.
The index once again faced rejection at the 25,250 resistance zone during Thursday’s session, erasing the entirety of the previous day’s gains. This price action highlights the presence of a supply zone and reinforces the significance of the 25,250 level as a formidable resistance point.
Over the past eight trading sessions, the index has been oscillating within a tight consolidation band of 25,250 to 24,900. This range-bound structure suggests a lack of directional conviction in the short term.
The 24,900 level remains a crucial demand zone. A decisive breakdown below this support would signal a potential continuation of the ongoing corrective phase, which has persisted over the last three weeks.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,110, followed by 25,200 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,940, followed by 24,850.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 57,150, followed by 57,350, while downside support is found at 56,670, followed by 56,400.
Nifty:
Significant Call OI is observed at the 26,000 strike, followed by 25,500, while aggressive Call writing at 25,200 is expected to act as immediate resistance.
On the downside, highest Put OI is placed at 24,000, with notable support emerging at 25,000, making it the immediate support zone.
In the previous session, Call writing dominance was evident, with limited Put participation and noticeable Put unwinding at higher strikes, indicating a cautious undertone and potential downside bias.
The decisive range for Nifty lies between 25,000–25,200; a breakout on either side may lead to a sharp directional move.
The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has declined by 0.24 to stand at 0.90.
Bank Nifty:
Heavy accumulation of both Call and Put OI is seen at the 57,000 strike, indicating a straddle formation and a key pivot level.
A sustained move below 57,000 could trigger fresh selling pressure on the downside.
In the previous session, Call writing dominance clearly suggests limited upside potential, while Put unwinding reflects trader caution for further declines.
The deciding range lies between 57,000 and 57,500; a breakout beyond this zone is likely to result in a directional movement.
The PCR has dipped by 0.14 points, now standing at 0.90.
Performance Overview:
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their gains to close at fresh record highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed significantly, weighed down by losses in select heavyweight stocks.

Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped ~0.7%, closing at 44,693.91 led lower by steep losses in IBM, UnitedHealth, and airline names.
S&P 500 inched up 0.07%, closing at (~6,363), marking its 10th all‑time highs in 19 trading days.
Nasdaq Composite rose ~0.18%, also reaching new highs closing at 21057.96.
The initial jobless claims dropped by 4,000 to 217,000 for the week ended July 20, defying expectations of an increase to 227,000.
