🌏 Global Market Overview & Gift Nifty Setup
Gift Nifty is trading marginally positive around the 26,090 mark, suggesting a flat-to-positive opening for domestic markets. The global backdrop remains mixed:
- US Markets: Dow Jones gained 0.25%, while Nasdaq slipped 0.10% as investors digested corporate earnings and awaited U.S. GDP data.
- Europe: CAC and DAX saw mild gains, while FTSE was flat due to energy sector weakness.
- Asia: Nikkei trades mildly positive; Hang Seng remains range-bound amid China’s real estate data disappointment.
The Dollar Index hovers near 104.2, while Brent crude stays around $88.40/barrel, indicating slight pressure on oil-sensitive sectors. Meanwhile, FIIs were marginal net buyers on Wednesday, indicating sustained inflow into large-cap names.
📊 Technical Outlook: Nifty, Bank Nifty & Fin Nifty
Nifty (Close: 26,053.90)
Nifty formed a bullish candle on daily charts and is consolidating near the upper trendline of its short-term channel.
- Support Zones: 25,920 – 25,850 (intraday)
- Resistance Zones: 26,120 – 26,240 (immediate hurdle)
- Trend: Bullish but overbought; mild retracement possible before fresh upmove.
A breakout above 26,240 could open the gate towards 26,400–26,500, while failure to hold 25,850 may trigger profit booking.
Bank Nifty (Close: 58,385.25)
Bank Nifty continues to outperform, driven by SBI, ICICI Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank.
- Support: 57,900
- Resistance: 58,600 – 58,900
- View: As long as it sustains above 57,900, the index remains in buy-on-dip mode.
However, traders should stay cautious near 59,000, which coincides with the upper channel resistance and expiry volatility.
Fin Nifty (Close: 27,587.65)
Fin Nifty is showing relative strength compared to Nifty and is expected to move towards 27,900 if it sustains above 27,450.
- Support: 27,400
- Resistance: 27,750 – 27,900
Sectoral leadership remains visible in insurance, NBFC, and private banks, while PSU financials may see mild profit booking.
