Market Outlook from Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited
On the daily chart, Nifty has formed a strong bullish candle, indicating positive momentum and suggesting the potential for further upside if follow-through buying continues. Globally, markets traded with mixed sentiment, while Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers, reflecting improving undertones in the broader market sentiment. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 25,200, while strong support lies in the 25,100–25,000 zone. On the upside, 25,300 will act as an immediate resistance, followed by a strong hurdle in the 25,400–25,500 range. As long as the index holds above the 25,000 mark, a buy-on-dips strategy can be adopted. Furthermore, a decisive break and sustained trade above the higher resistance levels could trigger fresh buying opportunities. Traders are advised to remain cautious and maintain strict stop-loss levels to manage risk amid heightened volatility.

In the derivatives space, sentiment stayed cautiously optimistic, with Put writers maintaining a slight edge over call writers, supported by fresh additions on the put side. The 56,000 strike recorded a notable open interest buildup of 13.87 lakh contracts, cementing it as a strong resistance ceiling. Meanwhile, the 55,000 strike attracted the highest put OI of 13.81 lakh contracts, reaffirming its role as a dependable support base. Fresh put writing around current levels reflects limited conviction for a sharp downside, while unwinding of call positions signals improving market confidence. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) improved marginally to 1.08 from 1.00, indicating a mildly bullish undertone with scope for sustained momentum, though a decisive breakout is still awaited.
Nifty Bank breaks past 55,000, charts higher-high structure
“A steady pattern of higher lows over the past two weeks continues to reinforce a robust bullish technical structure. During the day, the index traded with a strong positive tone, decisively breaching its previous resistance, which now transitions into a dependable support zone. On the daily chart, a bullish marubozu candlestick confirmed this breakout, highlighting the shift of support to higher levels and the weakening of resistance. Any corrective pullbacks, however, may provide fresh accumulation opportunities. Momentum indicators remain constructive, with RSI holding above the neutral 50 zone, signaling steady improvement in underlying strength. With resistance-turned-support dynamics in play, the 54,800–54,700 range has now emerged as a strong demand base. On the upside, immediate hurdles are placed at 55,200 and 55,250, while the broader 54,500 level continues to serve as a reliable floor. As long as this cluster holds firm, a buy-on-dips approach remains favorable,” said Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.
