Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments
Smart gains of 3860 points on the Sensex and 1157 points on the Nifty in October didn’t help the market scale up to a new record high. Profit booking and FIIs again turning sellers prevented continuation of the rally to record highs. Since the FII strategy of selling in India on rallies and moving money to other better performing markets have paid them rich dividends, they can be expected to continue the same strategy now also. A change in this scenario will happen only when we have leading indicators suggesting a smart turnaround in India’s corporate earnings. The Trump - Xi Jinping summit delivered only a temporary truce in the US-China trade war, not a trade deal. The implications of this on a possible US-India trade deal remain to be seen. A significant trend in the industry is the sustained demand for automobiles, particularly small cars, which is turning out to be better than the optimistic expectations. Auto shares will remain resilient.
Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The formation of a shooting star candlestick pattern on the weekly chart, combined with a potential double-top structure near the 57,650 neckline, reinforces a weakening technical setup. From a broader perspective, the index appears to have entered a bearish-to-sideways phase, as long as it fails to sustain above the swing high of 58,500. The close below its 10-day exponential moving average (10-DEMA) further signals a pause in the prevailing bullish momentum. Unless the 58,500–58,600 zone is decisively reclaimed, sellers are likely to dominate the price action, using intraday rebounds to initiate fresh short positions. On the downside, immediate support lies at 57,650, and a breakdown below this level would confirm the double-top pattern, potentially leading to further downside acceleration. While on the flip side, unless the index decisively crosses above 58,100 and sustains, the medium-term view remains cautious amid a range-bound bias. Momentum indicators also echo a similar tone. The RSI (14) continues to hover above the 60 mark, but a breach of key support could drag it lower, signalling weakening strength. Hence, 57,600 remains a key support zone, while resistance is firmly placed at 58,300–58,500.
Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
From a technical perspective, the index appears to be in a bearish-to-sideways phase as long as it fails to sustain above the swing high of 26,100. The index’s close below its 10-day exponential moving average (10-DEMA) signals a temporary pause in bullish momentum. Until the 25,900–26,000 zone is decisively reclaimed, sellers are likely to remain dominant, using minor upswings to initiate fresh short positions. On the downside, immediate support lies at 25,700, and a decisive breach below this level could confirm the double-top pattern breakdown, potentially accelerating the downward move. Conversely, unless the index decisively surpasses 26,100, the medium-term outlook remains cautious amid the prevailing range-bound and corrective structure. Momentum indicators are also signalling weakness — the RSI (14) has slipped below 60, suggesting fading bullish strength and a potential pause in upward momentum. Hence, 25,700 remains the key support level to watch, while resistance is capped at 26,100–26,150.
Bank Nifty Derivatives Snapshot By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Derivatives data continue to paint a cautious picture, as call writers have built significant positions at higher levels, asserting dominance in the derivatives space. Major put writers have squared off their earlier positions and shifted to lower strikes, underscoring a defensive undertone in the market. A hefty open interest (OI) buildup of 9.40 lakh contracts at the 58,500 call strike points to a strong resistance zone, while notable put OI of 17.63 lakh contracts at the 58,000 strike indicates a key support base. The sharp increase in call writing activity highlights growing hesitation among market participants. Meanwhile, the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has slipped to 0.85 from 0.91, reflecting a cautious sentiment as sellers continue to hold a stronger grip over the market direction.

The sharp increase in call writing activity underscores growing scepticism among traders. Meanwhile, the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has dropped sharply to 0.49 from 0.60, reflecting a cautious sentiment and suggesting the likelihood of mild profit booking as the PCR enters oversold territory.
Bank Nifty Outlook By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Although the Nifty Bank index ended October on a high note, near-term signals suggest a pause in momentum. The appearance of a double-top pattern on the daily chart and a shooting star on the weekly chart point to emerging weakness. With call writers aggressively adding positions at higher levels, buyers appear hesitant, and every upside move is being used by sellers to add fresh bearish bets. A decisive breakout above 58,500 would be required to reinstate bullish momentum and confirm a resumption of the uptrend. Until then, sellers are likely to maintain control, and any follow-through move below 57,650 could intensify selling pressure, confirming a short-term breakdown. Until the index convincingly clears its major resistance, the broader structure remains bearish to neutral. Traders are advised to follow a sell-on-rise approach, focusing on shorting opportunities near key resistance levels while maintaining a cautious stance.
Nifty Outlook By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Despite closing October on a positive note, the index now shows visible signs of fatigue. The emergence of a double-top formation on the daily chart and a shooting star pattern on the weekly chart underline a cautious stance. With call writers dominating at higher strikes, the ongoing pause in bullish momentum indicates that sellers remain active on every rise, using upswings to add fresh short positions. A decisive move above 26,100 will be essential to revive bullish sentiment and confirm trend continuation. Until then, the market structure remains tilted toward a bearish-to-sideways bias, and any sustained move below 25,700 could invite further selling pressure. Traders are advised to adopt a sell-on-rise approach, focusing on shorting opportunities near key resistance levels while maintaining a cautious outlook in the near term.
