India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty suggests a gap-up opening of 100 points for the Indian markets. 

    • Nifty spot after a positive opening is likely to consolidate in the broad range of 25,080 - 25,400.

  2. Market in Previous Session:

    • Indian benchmark indices mirrored global trends and closed in the red, with Nifty snapping its 14-day winning streak, ending below 25,200 due to broad-based selling across sectors, except for realty, FMCG, and pharma.

    • At the close of trading, the Sensex had dropped 202.80 points or 0.25% to 82,352.64, while the Nifty fell by 81.10 points or 0.32% to 25,198.70.

    • Due to weak global markets, Indian indices opened with a gap-down and traded in negative territory for the entire session. However, a recovery in the afternoon session helped to trim intraday losses.

    • On the sectoral front, FMCG, realty and pharma gained 0.5% each, while auto, bank, energy, IT, and metal were down by 0.4-1%.

  3. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • The 14-day winning streak was finally broken yesterday. Going forward, the Index might consolidate between 25,080 and 25,350. A drop below 25,080 could trigger further correction towards 24800-24900; while a move beyond 25,350 might induce a rally toward higher levels and can hit fresh all-time highs.

    • Structurally such retracement of the rally is a normal phenomenon amid the bull market and offers an incremental buying opportunity. 

    • This movement suggests that the bulls are still maintaining their position, although consolidation may happen if global pressures continue to mount.

  4. Intraday Levels:

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,380 followed by 25,420 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,080, followed by 25,000.

    • Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 51,750, followed by 51,900, while downside support is found at 51,250, followed by 51,080.

    • Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 23,950, followed by 24,070, while downside support is found at 23,540, followed by 23,460.
