India Market Outlook
GIFT Nifty Projection:

Market in Previous Session:
Benchmark Indices extended consolidation for the fourth consecutive session as participants wait for tonight's much-anticipated FOMC outcome. Nifty saw wild moves in yesterday’s session with initial uptick forming a fresh all-time high of 25482 in the first half of trade. Index however failed to sustain at higher levels and witnessed profit booking in the second half of the session to close below 25400 levels.
Sensex closed the session lower by 131 points or 0.16% at 82,948.23, while Nifty lost 41 points or 0.16% to close at 25,377.55.
Bank Nifty showed strength in today's session and has outperformed all sectoral indices closing at 52,750 or 1.08% higher. Broader markets traded negatively with midcap and small-cap closing lower by 0.71% and 0.39% respectively.
Financial services, Private bank and PSU bank stocks were major gainers while IT, Pharma and Oil and Gas stocks were major draggers.
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Nifty has formed a high wave candle with a small real body and long shadows in either direction highlighting consolidation with high volatility.
Volatility is likely to remain high in Thursday's session due to the reaction of traders to the Fed policy outcome as well as the weekly F&O expiry. Nifty in the last four sessions is facing resistance from the supply line joining recent highs placed around 25450-25500. A sustained closing above the same will open upside towards 25,800 in the coming weeks. Failure to do so will lead to consolidation and a higher base formation in the range of 25500-25000.
Key support is placed at 25100-25000 being the confluence of 20 days EMA and rising trendline joining lows of last two months.
Intraday Levels:
Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 25,440 followed by 25,580 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 25,290, followed by 25,200.
Bank Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 53,050, followed by 53,200, while downside support is found at 52,200, followed by 52,080.
Fin Nifty: Intraday resistance is positioned at 24,650, followed by 24,800, while downside support is found at 24,080, followed by 24,140.
Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The highest call OI has been observed at the 26,000 level, whereas immediate call OI addition has been positioned at the 25,500 level, which will serve as resistance for the weekly expiry.
Major put OI has been observed at the 25,000 level, while immediate put OI is at the 25,300 level, which will act as support.
According to option chain analysis, put writers have unwound their positions and shifted towards lower levels, suggesting caution for a potential downside movement.
The Nifty put-call ratio has declined by 0.17 and is now placed at the 1.13 level.
Bank Nifty:
Accumulation of call and put OI at the 52,800 level suggests a straddle formation, making it a key deciding level for the day.
The highest call OI has been observed at the 53,000 level, which will serve as an immediate resistance zone. If the price surpasses and sustains above 53,000, it will trigger a further upside move.
According to option chain analysis, the broader range for Bank Nifty is between 52,000 and 53,000. A break on either side of this range will trigger a further directional move.
