🛎️ Opening Bell – 05 August 2025: Nifty Holds Support; Bank Nifty Under Pressure Amid Global Cues
The Indian stock market opened Tuesday’s session on a subdued but stable note, with benchmark indices holding crucial support levels despite weak global cues. Traders are closely watching 24,820–24,850 resistance on Nifty for confirmation of an upside rally, while Bank Nifty remains in a sell-on-rise zone with overhead supply near 55,800–55,900.
The market’s rebound from 24,550 support last session has sparked cautious optimism, but lack of strong triggers and pending domestic events (RBI policy expectations, US economic data) are keeping momentum capped.
