Sectoral Performance Snapshot
- Banking & Financials:
After several sessions of strong performance, banking heavyweights like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank witnessed a mild pullback. The Bank Nifty index slipped nearly 230 points from its open, reflecting traders locking in gains near the 58,500 zone. - IT & Tech:
IT majors like Infosys, TCS, and Wipro extended their upward momentum as global tech stocks showed resilience amid steady US futures. The Nifty IT index added close to 0.6%, showing renewed interest from institutional buyers. - Energy & Power:
Stocks in the power and oil & gas segments performed well, with NTPC, ONGC, and Reliance Industries providing notable support to the Nifty. Crude oil’s retreat below $81 per barrel eased inflation fears, aiding sentiment. - Metals:
Metal stocks gained moderately amid a rebound in base metal prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Tata Steel, JSW Steel, and Hindalco saw mild upticks. - FMCG & Pharma:
Defensive names like HUL, Britannia, and Sun Pharma traded in a narrow range, reflecting cautious investor positioning ahead of key macroeconomic data releases later this week.
Broader Market Check
The Midcap and Smallcap indices continued to outperform, suggesting sustained retail and domestic institutional interest.
- Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.45%, while
- Nifty Smallcap 100 advanced 0.60%.
This reflects an ongoing rotation of funds into high-growth mid-tier companies, particularly from the capital goods, infrastructure, and manufacturing segments.
Technical View: Nifty Holds Above 25,850 Support Zone
From a technical standpoint, the Nifty 50 has formed a small bullish candle on the daily chart, holding above its key support of 25,800. The short-term structure remains positive as long as it trades above 25,750–25,800 levels.

Bank Nifty Analysis

- Support Zone: 58,000 / 57,800

Fin Nifty and Sectoral Rotation

- Support: 27,200
- Resistance: 27,500

Outlook for 13 November 2025: Range-Bound with Positive Bias
With the Nifty sustaining above 25,850 and the Sensex holding near 84,400, the market outlook remains constructive. However, volatility could increase ahead of key US and domestic inflation prints.
Traders should watch:
- US CPI data release

- INR stability near 83.15–83.25
Short-Term View: Buy on dips remains the strategy till Nifty holds above 25,750.
Medium-Term View: Market trend stays bullish with focus shifting to midcap and IT spaces.
Conclusion: Cautious Optimism Prevails
The Indian stock market closed with mild gains, led by IT, energy, and metal sectors, while banking stocks cooled off after a sharp rally. The Sensex holding above 84,400 and Nifty 50 closing above 25,875 underline underlying strength despite global uncertainties.
Investors are advised to remain selective, focus on large-cap leaders with strong earnings visibility, and keep an eye on key support levels as the market prepares for the next leg of directional movement.
