Pre-market analysis for 29 Sept 2025: Nifty, Bank Nifty, Sensex, Fin Nifty with Gift Nifty cues, sector outlook, and stock ideas. Key trades include Aarey Drugs breakout, Crompton 300 CE, IOC 150 CE, and CNX Realty support zone.
Pre-Market Report – Indian Stock Market (29th September 2025)
The Indian stock market has endured a steep correction over the past week, with both benchmarks and sectoral indices coming under pressure. On 26 September 2025, the indices closed sharply lower:
- Nifty 50: 24,654.79
- Bank Nifty: 54,389.35
- Sensex: 80,426.46
- Fin Nifty: 25,985.25
The recent decline has erased almost 800 points from Nifty, exactly in line with the earlier resistance levels flagged in our analysis. This correction has now pushed the market into an oversold zone, setting up the possibility of a short-covering rally as traders head into the month-end F&O expiry week.
🌍 Global Market Cues
- US Markets: Wall Street closed weak with Dow and S&P in red as US bond yields remained elevated. Tech stocks dragged Nasdaq further down.
- Europe: FTSE and DAX ended flat, with energy shares mixed on volatile crude prices.
- Asia: Asian indices are showing mild recovery this morning. Nikkei trades higher while Hang Seng continues to struggle on property market stress.
- Crude Oil: Brent crude hovers near $84.7/barrel, giving some relief to importers after last week’s rise.
- Gold: Spot gold at $2,055/oz, showing steady safe-haven demand.
- Dollar & Bonds: US dollar index remains elevated near 106, while US 10-year yields are firm.
Takeaway: The global backdrop remains cautious, but with commodities stable and Asian markets recovering, India could witness short-covering in beaten-down sectors.
📊 Technical Analysis of Key Indices
Nifty 50
- Close: 24,654.79
- Support: 24,500 – 24,380
- Resistance: 24,850 – 25,050
- After an 800-point slide, Nifty is now trading near strong support zones. Hourly RSI is oversold, suggesting a technical bounce is possible if 24,850 is reclaimed. Sustaining above 25,050 will confirm strength.
Bank Nifty
- Close: 54,389.35
- Support: 54,000 – 53,600
- Resistance: 54,900 – 55,200
- Bank Nifty fell sharply but remains above 54,000. PSU banks show resilience, while private banks dragged the index. Short-covering rally is possible toward 55,000 if support holds.
Sensex
- Close: 80,426.46
- Support: 80,000 – 79,500
- Resistance: 81,200 – 81,700
- Sensex corrected from its 82,100 resistance zone as projected earlier. The 80,000 level is a psychological support, and holding this may trigger a pullback.
Fin Nifty
- Close: 25,985.25
- Support: 25,750 – 25,500
- Resistance: 26,200 – 26,450
- Fin Nifty has seen steady selling, but a reversal is possible if it sustains above 26,200.
Gift Nifty Outlook
Gift Nifty is indicating a marginally higher open, reflecting potential short-covering bounce after last week’s relentless fall. Traders should watch whether the bounce sustains above resistance zones.

⚡ Market Strategy for the Day
- Expiry Factor: With month-end F&O expiry this week, expect volatility and sharp intraday swings.
- Short-Covering Play: After Nifty’s 800-point fall, a relief rally is likely. Avoid fresh aggressive shorts.
- Sector Rotation: Focus on Pharma (Aarey Drugs), Realty (CNX Realty), and Energy (IOC).
- Options Strategies: Crompton 300 CE and IOC 150 CE provide good risk-reward for October expiry.
- Risk Management: Keep strict stop-loss levels; indices remain weak in broader structure.
✅ Conclusion
The Indian market begins the week of 29 September 2025 at oversold levels, with traders eyeing short-covering bounce ahead of expiry. While Nifty and Bank Nifty face strong resistance zones, the market structure indicates a chance for selective recovery.
Stock-specific plays like Aarey Drugs (breakout), Crompton (300 CE), IOC (150 CE), and CNX Realty (support zone) can outperform. However, caution is needed as the broader trend remains weak after last week’s heavy fall.
Trading Mantra: Play the short-covering bounce, but stay disciplined with stop-losses.
