Market in Previous Session:
The benchmark indices declined for a second straight session on October 16 weighed down by weak global markets, with the Nifty slipping below 25,000 amid broad-based selling.

Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index has formed a high wave candle, indicating consolidation amid stock-specific movements as Q2FY25 progresses.
Nifty remains around the 25,000 level, consolidating within a broad range of 25,250-24,800 over the last eight sessions. A clear breakout above or breakdown below this range would signal further directional movement.
Immediate supports are positioned at the 24,800-24,750 levels, aligning with the September lows and the 61.8% retracement of the previous upward move (23,893-26,277). Maintaining above this level is crucial for any potential pullback to take shape.

Derivative Market Analysis

Call writers are active across the strikes above the 25,000 level, suggesting multiple resistance points, with the highest call OI noted at the 25,500 level.
On the flipside, major put OI is observed at the 24,500 level, followed by the 24,800 level, which will act as crucial support for the index.
According to option chain analysis, the immediate range for Nifty is between the 24,800 and 25,000 levels. Put writers have shifted their positions to lower levels, indicating caution about a potential downside move.

Bank Nifty:
Accumulation of both call and put OI is noted at the 52,000 level, indicating a straddle formation and a critical deciding level for the day.
Major call OI is observed at the 52,000 level. If the price surpasses and sustains above 52,000, short covering could be likely.
If the price holds below 52,000, a downside move toward the 51,500 level, where immediate put OI is noted, could be possible.
According to option chain analysis, the broader range for Bank Nifty is between 51,500 and 52,500. A break of either range may trigger further directional movement.
