Market Update: Nifty Gains 130 Points Amid Volatile Trading Session

The benchmark indices witnessed a volatile trading session today. After early swings, the Nifty closed 130 points higher, while the Sensex ended up by 410 points. Sector-wise, most major indices traded in positive territory, with the defence sector gaining the most, rising over 3.5%.

Technical Analysis

The market opened with an intraday rally but faced resistance near 24,950 (Nifty) / 82,000 (Sensex), leading to a sharp correction. Despite this, it managed to close above 24,650 / 81,200, which is a positive sign.

• The intraday market structure is currently non-directional.

• As long as the index trades between 24,650 and 25,000, the market is expected to remain range-bound.

• A breakout above 25,000 / 82,200 could push the market to new highs in the range of 25,150–25,300 / 82,700–83,100.

On the other hand, if the market falls below 24,650 / 81,200, negative sentiment could intensify, potentially triggering a correction that retests levels near 24,500–24,400 / 80,700–80,400.

Bank Nifty Outlook

The Bank Nifty failed to surpass the 56,100 level, which is viewed negatively.

• Resistance levels: 55,000 and 55,400

• Support levels: 54,400, 54,100, and 53,800

• Strategy: Reduce long positions at resistance levels.

Market Recap (Derivatives)
