Technical Summary Nifty CMP 25,299.35
As discussed yesterday market behaviour remained on the expected lines during the day, as at the open, bears tried to take control and dragged the nifty to an intraday low of 25142.95 a quick dip below our breakdown level of 25168—but failed to sustain the downside pressure. The index staged a smart recovery from the lows to hit an intraday high of 25384.80, before settling at 25299.35 amid intraday volatility.
Further, a short bullish candle appearing right after a bearish spinning top following a long rally near a resistance level suggests that buyers prevented sellers from dragging the Nifty down. With the positive trend still intact, a decisive breakout above 25383 could trigger a rally toward 25466–25550. If buying pressure intensifies and sustains, it may push the Nifty further up to 25633.
On the flip side, this small candle also indicates a slowdown in buying momentum and a weak attempt by buyers to hold off sellers. Hence, if sellers re-emerge and trigger a decisive breakdown below 25215, the Nifty may drift down toward 25133–25049. If selling pressure intensifies further and sustains, it could drag the nifty down to 24966.

- Crude oil: Brent around $95.70–$95.80 per barrel; elevated crude prices remain a concern for
- US 10-year bond yield: Around 10%.
- Domestic inflation: India’s October retail inflation rose to 6.09%, above the RBI’s upper tolerance limit, which may influence interest-rate expectations.
Overall View:
Indian markets ended marginally higher on Thursday, with Nifty closing at 25,299 and Bank Nifty at 61,519. Strong FII buying and continued interest in financial stocks supported the market. However, weak US markets, elevated crude prices and higher domestic inflation may restrict the upside in the near term.
