Pre Market Report – 19th August 2025 | Indian Stock Market Outlook
Indian equity markets ended the previous session on a positive note with Nifty closing at 24,876.95 (+0.97%), Bank Nifty at 55,734.76 (+0.71%), Sensex at 81,273.75 (+0.92%), and Fin Nifty at 26,609.10 (+1.02%). The strong closing highlights sustained bullish momentum across indices, supported by global cues and sector rotation.
With Gift Nifty indicating a mildly positive opening for today’s session, traders will be closely watching sector-wise participation and stock-specific setups. Let’s break it down:
🌍 Global Market Cues
- US Markets: The Dow Jones and S&P 500 ended higher as softer US inflation data boosted expectations of a Fed rate cut later this year. Nasdaq also rallied on the back of strong tech earnings.
- Asian Markets: Nikkei, Hang Seng, and Shanghai Composite opened in the green, following Wall Street momentum.
- Commodities: Brent Crude is steady near $81, Gold consolidates around $2,445, while the Dollar Index slipped below 103.50, supporting emerging market inflows.
- FIIs & DIIs: FIIs were net buyers yesterday, adding further support to Indian equities.
📈 Index Technical Outlook
🔹 Nifty 50 (24,876.95)
- Support Zone: 24,700 – 24,600
- Resistance Zone: 25,050 – 25,150
- View: Momentum remains intact, and a breakout above 25,150 could accelerate the rally toward 25,500+. However, profit booking may occur near resistance levels.
🔹 Bank Nifty (55,734.76)
- Support Zone: 55,200 – 55,000
- Resistance Zone: 56,200 – 56,500
- View: The index is consolidating in a rising channel. Sustaining above 55,800 could open gates for 56,500+. PSU banks continue to outperform private banks.

- Support Zone: 80,800 – 80,300
- Resistance Zone: 81,800 – 82,100

🔹 Fin Nifty (26,609.10)
- Support Zone: 26,400 – 26,250
- Resistance Zone: 26,900 – 27,100
- View: Bullish tone continues. A close above 27,000 would trigger fresh momentum in NBFCs and insurance stocks.

📝 Conclusion
The Indian stock market looks set for a firm opening today, supported by global cues and sector rotation. While Nifty eyes the psychological 25,000 mark, Bank Nifty is consolidating for its next leg higher. Stock-specific opportunities remain in Aarti Industries (accumulate for positional gains), PNB Housing (short-term breakout candidate), and CDSL options (for aggressive traders).
Short opportunities via DLF PE also look promising if the Realty index weakens. Traders should maintain strict stop losses, as volatility ahead of expiry weeks may remain high.
📌 Focus levels for the day:
- Nifty 25,150 breakout = next leg higher
- Bank Nifty 56,200 = bullish trigger
- Fin Nifty above 27,000 = new rally
