Short term - Technical Outlook

Nifty 50 remains in a recovery phase after reclaiming the 24,000 mark in the intra-day trade on Wednesday, which now acts as an immediate psychological resistance. A decisive breakout above the 24,300–24,400 zone can extend the move towards 24,500–24,800. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 23,700–23,600, with a stronger demand zone at 23,400–23,300. As long as the index holds above 24,000, the short-term structure remains positive, though momentum requires confirmation from a sustained breakout above resistance.

Long term - Technical Outlook

Nifty 50 critical support zone lies around 23,000. A clear breakdown below this level may intensify selling pressure and drag the index toward 22,600 region. On the upside, the 24,300-24,400  band now acts as a key resistance area, as earlier support has turned into a barrier; a sustained move above this range is essential for near-term stabilization. Overall, the downside bias remains intact unless the index posts a decisive close above the 25,000–25,300 region.

Long term Chart

Indian equity markets opened on a cautious to slightly weaker note, despite supportive developments including the announcement of a temporary two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran and a sharp pullback in crude oil prices. The session is seeing some profit-taking following the strong rally in the previous session, resulting in a softer undertone, with early weakness led by the IT, auto and realty sector. Persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows are likely to remain a near-term headwind, while continued buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) is expected to provide support and help contain downside risks. Asian markets are also trading with a cautious bias, reflecting mixed global sentiment.

Overall sentiment remains guarded. While lower crude oil prices are offering support, investor hesitation persists given the temporary nature of the ceasefire and the broader geopolitical uncertainty, suggesting a measured rather than conviction-driven approach to risk.

Nifty 50

Nifty 50 opened marginally lower around the 23,923 mark, with early price action suggesting a range-bound to consolidative trend. From a technical perspective, the index continues to remain in a recovery phase. Immediate resistance is placed near the 24,000 level, and a sustained breakout above this mark could extend the recovery momentum towards the 24,300–24,400 zone. On the downside, key support remains in the 23,700–23,600 range. Overall, the outlook remains cautious, with sustainability above the 24,000 level being crucial for further upside momentum.

Bank Nifty

Bank Nifty opened on a mildly weak note around the 55,539 level, indicating some early profit booking following the recent upmove. From a technical standpoint, the index continues to hold above key short-term support levels, reflecting underlying strength despite the subdued opening. Immediate support is placed in the 55,200–54,800 zone, which is expected to act as a strong cushion on declines. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen in the 55,800–56,000 zone. Overall, the outlook remains cautious. Holding above the 55,000 mark is crucial to maintain the bullish structure, while a decisive breakout above 56,000 will be key to extend the ongoing recovery trend.
