Long term Chart

Indian equities opened on a cautious footing on Thursday, with benchmark indices under pressure as investors assessed the RBI’s shift toward a tighter monetary-policy stance alongside renewed concerns over crude oil prices and inflation. The central bank’s 25-basis-point repo-rate increase and move to calibrated tightening have added to the pressure on rate-sensitive segments, tempering overall risk appetite in early trade.

The weakness has been broad-based across sectors, although IT has provided a notable pocket of strength. The sector gained more than 1% in early trade, supported by buying in large-cap IT stocks ahead of Tata Consultancy Services’ September-quarter results. Realty, meanwhile, came under sharper pressure, falling more than 1% as higher borrowing costs and tighter financial conditions weighed on sentiment toward interest-rate-sensitive stocks.

Crude oil remains a key source of macroeconomic uncertainty. WTI is trading around $89–90 a barrel, below its recent highs but still elevated, while Brent remains firm amid concerns over potential supply disruptions and continuing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Higher energy costs remain a risk for India’s import bill and inflation outlook, particularly if the current firmness in crude prices persists.

The rupee is also adding to the pressure on domestic markets, trading near 96.70 per U.S. dollar and close to recent record-low levels. Persistent currency weakness, elevated crude prices and tighter domestic monetary conditions could keep the near-term market environment challenging, with rate-sensitive sectors likely to remain particularly vulnerable.

 

Technical View

Nifty 50

Nifty 50 opened largely flat near the 22,599 mark but faced early selling pressure, pushing the index towards the lower end of the 22,500 zone. The opening weakness indicates that sellers continue to remain active at higher levels, keeping the broader technical structure under pressure. On the upside, the 22,700–22,800 zone remains the immediate resistance area. A sustained move above 22,800 would be required to improve the near-term structure and support further recovery towards the 23,000 region.    
 
On the downside, 22,500 remains the immediate support zone. A decisive break below this level could intensify selling pressure and expose the index to the 22,400–22,300 region. The broader 22,180–22,200 area remains an important lower support zone, considering the recent 52-week low near 22,183. Momentum remains weak, with the index continuing to trade under pressure. Overall, the near-term technical outlook remains cautious.

 

Bank Nifty

Bank Nifty opened nearly flat near the 55,043 mark, indicating a cautious start to the session. The index continues to remain under pressure within a broader corrective structure, with immediate resistance placed around the 55,200–55,400 region. A sustained move above this zone could provide some stability and support a recovery towards the 55,800–56,000 area.  
 
On the downside, 54,600–54,400 remains the immediate support zone, followed by the psychological 54,000 level. Momentum remains subdued, the index will therefore need sustained buying above the immediate resistance zone to improve the short-term technical structure. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautious, Holding above 54,000 is important to prevent further deterioration, while a sustained move above 55,500 could provide some relief and support a recovery towards higher levels.
