By CapitalKeeper | Pre-Market Opening | Indian Stock Market | Market Moves That Matter
As we begin the third week of June 2025, the Indian equity markets are showing signs of fatigue after an extended bull run. The indices closed lower last Friday with Nifty ending at 24,718.60, below key support, signaling caution ahead. With global sentiment mixed and sector rotation evident, markets could see volatile consolidation this week.
📊 Market Recap – 14th June 2025 (Friday Close)
| Index | Closing Price | Change | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 24,718.60 | 🔻 -384 pts | Weak Close |
| Bank Nifty | 55,527.35 | 🔻 -1.99% | Selling Pressure |
| Sensex | 81,118.60 | 🔻 -1.57% | Broader Market Correction |
| Fin Nifty | 26,335.60 | 🔻 -2.07% | NBFC & Pvt Banks Weak |
🔍 Nifty 50 – Technical Analysis
- Major Support Levels: 24,575 / 24,420
- Resistance Levels: 24,860 / 25,100
- Trend: Bearish bias unless 24,860 is reclaimed
📌 Analysis:
Nifty broke below the crucial 24,860 support zone on Friday, triggering stop losses and closing weak. A further drop to 24,420 cannot be ruled out if 24,575 fails to hold.
✅ Intraday Strategy:
- Buy only above 24,860 for intraday bounce
- Avoid longs below 24,575
- Swing Short: Below 24,575 → Target 24,420
🔍 Bank Nifty – Technical Levels
- Support Zones: 55,140 / 54,800
- Resistance Zones: 56,000 / 56,300
📌 Analysis:
Bank Nifty saw broad-based selling in both private and PSU banks. It closed near its weekly low, and any gap-down below 55,140 can trigger further pressure.
✅ Strategy:
- Avoid aggressive longs below 55,140
- Fresh buying only above 56,000 with confirmation
🔍 Fin Nifty – Outlook
- Support Levels: 26,100 / 25,950
- Resistance: 26,600 / 26,880
📌 Analysis:
Fin Nifty corrected sharply as NBFCs and private financials saw profit booking. Unless 26,600 is crossed again, upside seems limited.
✅ Trade Plan:
- Look for buying near 26,100–26,150 with SL below 25,950
- Short rallies near 26,600 if not sustained
