FII: -Rs. 4,346.13 cr DII: Rs. 3,935.31 cr
(19th–23rd January 2026)
As discussed in the previous report dated 12th January 2026, market behaviour remained on expected lines during the week. Nifty witnessed a sharp downside move towards 25,445, making a weekly low of 25,473.40, and then bounced back to 25,899.80, close to the weekly resistance of 25,923. After respecting both sides, the index closed near its previous level at 25,694.35.
A doji candle on the weekly chart indicates volatility and indecision regarding Nifty’s near-term direction. Bearish sentiment persists, with selling pressure visible at higher levels, indicating resistance on rallies. If weakness continues, Nifty may find support in the range of 25,460–25,341. If selling pressure intensifies, the index may test 25,225. An intermediate support is placed at 25,577 within the broader move from 25,694.35 to 25,460.
Nifty has also tested its 25-week EMA near 25,525, a level from which it has bounced multiple times in the past. If bulls regain control, a decisive breakout above 25,813 could trigger an upside move towards 25,930–26,047. Stronger buying momentum may further push the index towards 26,165.
