🌅 Market Overview
The Indian equity market started Thursday’s session on a cautiously optimistic note, mirroring the global mood. After two consecutive sessions of range-bound trade, both Nifty and Bank Nifty are attempting to consolidate near their key resistance zones.
On October 8, 2025, the Nifty 50 closed at 25,046.15, after opening at 25,074.30, while the Bank Nifty ended the day slightly lower at 56,018.25 from an opening of 55,979.00. The Sensex settled at 81,773.66, whereas the Fin Nifty ended at 26,656.40.
Despite mild volatility, the underlying sentiment remains stable, aided by strong domestic institutional inflows and a positive tone in banking and IT counters.
📊 Technical Analysis: Nifty Today
The Nifty 50 is currently oscillating within a narrow consolidation range, with strong support at 24,950–25,000 and overhead resistance around 25,150.
Key Technical Levels for Nifty (09.10.2025):
- Resistance: 25,100 – 25,150 zone
- Support: 24,950 – 25,000 zone
The index has formed a mild Doji candle on the daily chart, indicating indecision but not weakness. A close above 25,150 could trigger a short-covering rally toward 25,300–25,400, while a breakdown below 24,950 may open the gates for a retest of 24,800.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 57, reflecting moderate strength. The MACD histogram continues to stay in positive territory, confirming underlying bullish sentiment, though short-term traders should watch out for intraday volatility.
💡 Trading View: Buy on dips near 25,000 with a stop loss below 24,900 for targets of 25,150–25,250.
🏦 Bank Nifty Outlook
The Bank Nifty has shown strong resilience despite global yield pressures. The index closed at 56,018.25, staying above its key moving averages and signaling strength from private sector lenders.
Key Levels for Bank Nifty (09.10.2025):
- Resistance: 56,250 zone
- Support: 55,600 zone
If the index sustains above 56,250, we could witness momentum toward 56,700–57,000, led by major banks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank.
However, failure to sustain above 56,000 could lead to short-term profit booking.
💹 Trading View: Buy on dip near 55,700–55,800 with a stop loss below 55,500 for targets 56,250–56,800.

- US Markets: Dow Jones and Nasdaq futures traded flat after mild volatility in tech stocks.
- Asian Markets: Nikkei and Hang Seng started positive on renewed optimism in the AI and semiconductor space.
- Commodities: Brent crude hovered near $86.40/bbl, maintaining pressure on inflation-sensitive sectors.

Heavy call writing at 25,200, while put writers active at 25,000, suggesting a narrow range for now. - Put Call Ratio (PCR): 0.92 — indicating a mildly neutral sentiment.

🧩 Market Sentiment & Strategy
With FIIs and DIIs both being net buyers in recent sessions, domestic sentiment remains upbeat despite global headwinds. The broader market breadth is neutral but improving, led by small-cap recovery and resilience in PSU counters.
Traders should maintain a buy-on-dip strategy, keeping a close eye on 25,000 as the key support zone. If Nifty sustains above 25,150, we could see momentum toward 25,300–25,400 zones in coming days.
🧭 Outlook Summary
| Index | Support | Resistance | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 24,950–25,000 | 25,150–25,300 | Buy on Dips |
| Bank Nifty | 55,600 | 56,250–56,800 | Positive |

| Fin Nifty | 26,500 | 26,850 | Sideways |
🔮 Capital Keeper View
The markets remain in a phase of controlled optimism — consolidating near their upper range but avoiding excess euphoria. As long as Nifty sustains above 25,000 and Bank Nifty above 55,600, the undertone remains bullish.
Broader participation from IT, infra, and select PSU banks indicates healthy market breadth. However, with global uncertainties around crude and inflation, traders should maintain trailing stop-losses and trade selectively.
🧠 Conclusion
India’s equity markets are showing resilience and rotational strength, with financials and IT leading the front. Investors are advised to adopt a “buy on dips” approach, focusing on fundamentally strong counters like HDFC Bank, L&T, Infosys, and HAL.
If Nifty decisively breaks 25,150, the next leg of rally could push it toward 25,400, while Bank Nifty sustaining above 56,250 could trigger a breakout toward 57,000.
📌 Final Word:
Stay data-driven, respect technical levels, and don’t chase the market. Follow institutional flow and let price action confirm the breakout before taking leveraged positions.
