🇮🇳 Domestic Market Highlights
🔸 Nifty 50:
The Nifty 50 opened at 25,843.20, slightly above Friday’s close but couldn’t hold early gains, slipping to close at 25,795.15.

- Support: 25,650–25,700 zone – near the 20-DMA mark.

- Crude Oil: Stable at $87.2/bbl — marginally lower, supportive for India’s trade balance.
- Rupee: Trading near ₹83.12/USD; stable amid steady FII flows.

🧭 CapitalKeeper’s Take
The Nifty and Bank Nifty are now at crucial inflection points. With global sentiment cautious and indices failing to hold higher levels, a short-term consolidation or minor correction cannot be ruled out.
“The market remains sell-on-rise until Nifty sustains above 25,900 and Bank Nifty above 58,000. Traders should stay light on long positions and maintain strict stop-losses.”
Short-term volatility could continue this week, especially ahead of U.S. GDP numbers, crude price movements, and FII positioning shifts.
🔮 Conclusion
The Indian market is now moving into a technical pause zone, with profit booking visible in large caps and selective rotation in midcaps.
- Nifty Support: 25,650–25,700
- Bank Nifty Support: 57,500
- Trading Strategy: Sell on rise near resistance; use dips for selective stock-based trades.
- Investor View: Long-term outlook remains intact; short-term traders should stay cautious.
