📊 Technical View – Nifty & Bank Nifty
Nifty 50 Technical Outlook
- Immediate Resistance: 26,100 – 26,180
- Immediate Support: 25,920 – 25,850
- Trend: Bullish Bias Above 25,900
The Nifty closed near the upper band of its short-term consolidation zone. Sustained trade above 26,100 could trigger a further rally toward 26,250–26,300 levels. However, traders should watch for volatility ahead of monthly expiry.

The market breadth was mildly positive with nearly 1,140 stocks advancing against 920 declines on the NSE.
In derivatives, long build-up positions were observed in Bank Nifty and select large-cap stocks like Reliance, HDFC Bank, and L&T.
The India VIX hovered near 11.2, suggesting a relatively stable volatility environment, ideal for positional traders.
🌐 Global & Domestic News Impact
The Indian market sentiment was further boosted by the recent government announcement allowing up to 49% FDI in PSU banks, which has triggered sectoral optimism.
Additionally, strong GST collection trends and improving credit growth indicators kept the macroeconomic outlook robust.
Globally, optimism over softening U.S. bond yields and expectations of an early Fed rate cut next quarter continued to support emerging market inflows.

With Nifty reclaiming 26,000, market tone remains cautiously bullish. Traders should keep watch on:
- U.S. inflation data release – may impact FII flows.
- Monthly expiry adjustments on derivatives segment.
- Earnings announcements from key FMCG and private banks.
If Nifty sustains above 26,000, the next short-term upside target lies around 26,250–26,320, while downside support remains firm at 25,850.
