📊 Pre-Market Report 29 August 2025: Market Consolidation, Global Cues & Strategy Ahead
The Indian stock market continues to show signs of consolidation as we step into the last trading session of the week (Friday, 29th August 2025). With Nifty closing at 24,500.90 (-0.85%), Bank Nifty at 53,820.35 (-1.15%), Sensex at 80,080.57 (-0.93%), and Fin Nifty at 25,640.30 (-1.20%), traders witnessed a corrective session driven by weak banking and financial stocks.
The theme of the last session was “money not lost is also money earned”—a reminder that patience is also a strategy in volatile markets. Today’s pre-market outlook focuses on global cues, GIFT Nifty, sectoral setup, and option trade strategies for Titan and Jio Financial Services (JioFin).
🌍 Global Market Cues
- US Markets: Wall Street ended mixed overnight. Dow Jones slipped -0.25%, while Nasdaq showed resilience, closing +0.35% higher on strong tech earnings.
- US Treasury Yields: 10-year yields remain stable around 4.12%, reducing immediate bond market pressure.
- Crude Oil: Brent is trading near $81.50/barrel, slightly lower, easing concerns for Indian importers.
- Dollar Index (DXY): Holds near 104.6, keeping INR range-bound.
- Asian Markets: Early trades show mixed signals—Hang Seng +0.30%, Nikkei -0.45%, SGX Straits Times flat.
📌 GIFT Nifty Outlook
- GIFT Nifty (as of 8:30 AM IST): Trading around 24,520 (+15 pts), indicating a mildly positive start for Indian equities.
- Implication: Market breadth remains cautious, but a reversal from lower support levels could attract short-covering.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Nifty (24,500.90)
- Support Zones: 24,400 / 24,300 / 24,150
- Resistance Zones: 24,680 / 24,820 / 25,000
- Bias: The index is range-bound but holding above 24,400 is crucial. A close below 24,300 can extend weakness, while a move above 24,680 may invite fresh buying.
Bank Nifty (53,820.35)
- Support Zones: 53,600 / 53,200 / 52,800
- Resistance Zones: 54,250 / 54,800 / 55,200
- Bias: Bank Nifty continues to underperform. Only a close above 54,250 can stabilize momentum.
Sensex (80,080.57)
- Support Zones: 79,800 / 79,300
- Resistance Zones: 80,500 / 81,000
Fin Nifty (25,640.30)
- Support Zones: 25,500 / 25,300
- Resistance Zones: 25,800 / 26,050
📊 FII & DII Activity (28 Aug 2025)
- FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors): Net sellers of ₹1,984 Cr in cash markets.
- DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors): Net buyers of ₹2,312 Cr, supporting markets at lower levels.
🔎 Interpretation: FIIs continue their cautious stance, while DIIs are providing buying support—indicating range-bound moves until stronger triggers emerge.
🏦 Sectoral Outlook
- Banking & Financials: Weak, with pressure on PSU banks. Private banks may attempt stabilization but remain under watch.
- IT Sector: Showing relative strength, supported by Nasdaq tech rally.
- Metals: Mixed outlook; China’s PMI numbers due today may influence momentum.
- Defence & PSU Stocks: Continued buying seen on dips, driven by government orders.
- Energy & Power: Remain stock-specific, with select players showing accumulation.
📌 Trading Strategy
The market is currently in a wait-and-watch mode. As highlighted in the last session, sometimes the best strategy is not to trade aggressively until clarity emerges.
🔑 Mantra for today:
“Stay cautious, hold quality, and let the market show its hand.”
If Nifty sustains above 24,680, positional longs can be considered with defined stop-losses. Conversely, a breakdown below 24,300 may accelerate selling.
📈 Stock & Options Watch
🔹 Titan (CMP ₹3,637)
- Derivative Strategy: September Expiry 3600 PE at ₹55.50
- Stop Loss: ₹3,680
- Target: ₹3,550 – ₹3,500
- View: Titan is near resistance; put option provides risk-defined bearish play.
🔹 Jio Financial Services (JioFin) (CMP ₹310)
- Derivative Strategy: September Expiry 320 CE at ₹6.70
- Stop Loss: Below ₹4
- Target: ₹10
- View: JioFin is holding firm and may witness an up-move if it sustains above ₹315. The 320 CE looks attractive for a breakout move.
⚖️ Market Psychology
- Doji candle formations in Nifty indicate indecision.
- Low India VIX (~11.9) suggests complacency in markets.
- Traders should not confuse low volatility with safety sharp moves can emerge once the range is broken.
📅 Weekly Outlook
- Expiry Pressure (August series): Volatility is expected to ease now as rollover positions settle.
- September Futures & Options: Fresh positioning will guide direction next week.
- Macro Data Ahead: US GDP growth & India’s core sector data could bring volatility.
📝 Conclusion
The Indian market on 29th August 2025 is expected to open flat-to-positive, with GIFT Nifty signaling a stable start. Technical charts show Nifty in a consolidation phase, while Bank Nifty remains weak.
- Longs should only be carried if Nifty sustains above 24,680.
- Downside risk remains towards 24,300 if supports break.
- Sector focus should remain on IT, PSU defence, and energy stocks, while banking remains a drag.
