The day started with a marginally positive opening, tracking mixed cues from Asian markets. However, the optimism faded quickly as traders resorted to profit booking in banking, IT, and auto counters.
🌍 Global Market Cues: Risk-Off Sentiment Returns
Global markets turned cautious ahead of the U.S. Q3 GDP data and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy remarks.
- US Futures indicated a flat-to-negative trend as investors awaited economic data for cues on interest rate trajectory.
- Asian markets were mixed: Nikkei slipped 0.5%, while Hang Seng lost 1.2%, dragged by tech and property stocks.
- European indices opened mildly lower, reflecting uncertainty over inflation data.
The US Dollar Index climbed above 107, putting pressure on emerging markets, while Brent crude hovered around $85 per barrel, impacting oil marketing companies and logistics players.
💰 Sectoral Performance: Selling Pressure Across the Board
All major sectoral indices ended in the red.
| Sector | Performance | Key Movers |
|---|---|---|
| Banking & Financials | ▼ 0.85% | HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank under pressure |
| IT & Tech | ▼ 1.2% | Infosys, TCS saw profit booking after a strong week |
| FMCG | ▼ 0.3% | HUL and ITC witnessed mild selling |
| Auto | ▼ 0.9% | M&M and Tata Motors declined |

The Nifty PSU Bank index also slipped nearly 1%, indicating profit-taking after a sharp rally earlier in the week.
🏦 Bank Nifty Analysis: Bears Back in Control
The Bank Nifty opened flat at 58,172.75 but failed to sustain at higher levels, ending below 57,700. Private banks witnessed visible weakness, particularly HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank, which dragged the index lower.
Technically, the 57,600 zone now acts as immediate support, and a break below could extend the fall towards 57,250–57,000. On the upside, 58,300 remains a key resistance.
The Fin Nifty, which mirrors financial sector sentiment, also settled lower at 27,395.30, forming a bearish candle on the daily chart.
📊 Nifty Technical Analysis: Short-Term Caution Visible
The Nifty 50 formed a bearish candle with a long upper wick, suggesting rejection near the 26,000 mark.
- Support: 25,700 / 25,550
- Resistance: 25,950 / 26,100
- RSI: 58 (mildly neutral to weak zone)
- MACD: Turning down with a potential crossover
Short-term traders are advised to maintain a sell-on-rise strategy as long as the index trades below 26,000. A decisive break above 26,100 could resume bullish momentum, while sustained weakness below 25,700 may invite further selling.
🌏 Sensex Performance: Heavyweights Drag the Index
The Sensex slipped by nearly 455 points, dragged by index majors like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, and Infosys. The 84,000 level provided some support in late trade, but sentiment remained fragile.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to offload shares worth around ₹1,200 crore, as per provisional data, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) absorbed some of the selling.
⚙️ Global Commodities & Currency Check
- Gold: $2,418/oz (+0.6%) safe-haven demand picked up.
- Silver: $29.35/oz (+0.8%) tracking gold movement.
- Crude Oil: $85.12/barrel (-0.3%) stable but volatile.
- USD/INR: 83.28 (+0.09%) Rupee weakens on stronger dollar.
The global macro backdrop continues to dictate the short-term trend, with investors tracking US yields and inflation commentary closely.
📅 Market Outlook for 25th October 2025
The overall sentiment remains cautious and range-bound ahead of the weekend session.
Traders should monitor global cues and FII activity closely. The Nifty may consolidate between 25,550–25,950, while the Bank Nifty is likely to face resistance near 58,300.
Key triggers to watch:
- U.S. GDP & Fed commentary
- Crude oil price movement
- FII/DII flow pattern
- India’s upcoming Q2 earnings
🧭 Analyst View by CapitalKeeper
“After a strong rally over the last few sessions, markets took a breather today. Traders are booking profits amid global uncertainty. For positional investors, any dip towards 25,600–25,700 on Nifty can be considered an opportunity to accumulate quality names with strong Q2 visibility.”
