As we step into Monthly Expiry Thursday, the Indian stock market continues to maintain an underlying bullish tone. With India VIX sliding another 5% to 12.95, and FII long positions steady at 23%, the sentiment remains constructive, though volatility compression indicates a possible breakout on either side in the sessions ahead.
Today’s session could see intraday whipsaws, so traders must use key support/resistance levels and crucial intraday timings to execute clean entries.

Fin Nifty on Expiry – 26 June 2025
“Financial Index Strong Above 27,500 – Monthly Expiry Could Trigger Breakout”
As the Indian markets navigate monthly expiry, Fin Nifty (Financial Services Index) remains one of the most technically stable and attractive sectors. With FII index long positions unchanged at 23%, India VIX cooling off to 12.95, and Nifty PCR rising to 1.13, traders are positioning for a bullish expiry close — particularly in financial-heavy indices like Fin Nifty.
The current setup points to a potential upside breakout if 27,620+ is crossed with volume.

🔐 Fin Nifty Key Technical Levels
🔻 Support Zones:
27,300 – 27,380 → Expiry safety zone
27,100 – 27,180 → Swing support
26,900 – 27,000 → Breakdown level if sentiment sours
🔺 Resistance Zones:
27,620 – 27,700 → Expiry breakout level
27,850 – 28,000 → Positional breakout targets
📌 A firm expiry close above 27,620 may ignite a rally toward 28,000 next week. Sustained trading below 27,100 would weaken sentiment and attract profit booking.
