The Indian equity market is showing signs of hesitation in today’s mid-day session. Despite a positive start with Nifty hitting 24,868.60 in the morning, profit booking near the 24,850–24,900 zone has dragged the index lower to 24,770 levels. Bank Nifty too is struggling below 54,600, indicating that financials are facing selling pressure. Sensex remains range-bound around 82,100, while Fin Nifty is underperforming slightly near 26,100.
This setup indicates cautious sentiment ahead of the weekly expiry, with traders keeping a close watch on global cues and FII flows.
🔎 Technical View – Nifty 50
Nifty attempted a breakout above 24,850 in the first hour but failed to sustain. Current price action indicates a supply zone between 24,850–24,900.

- Resistance Zone – 24,850 / 25,000
- RSI (hourly): Near 49 – showing consolidation.
- MACD – Slight bearish crossover developing.
👉 If Nifty sustains below 24,750, further weakness towards 24,650–24,600 may unfold. On the upside, bulls need a close above 24,850 for renewed strength.
🔎 Technical View – Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty has been volatile, touching a high of 54,897 but failing to hold gains. Mid-day weakness shows a lack of momentum in heavyweight private banks.
