In the last trading session, Nifty closed at 24,749.85, down by 221.45 points, or -0.89%. The index may 
continue its downward momentum if it trades and sustains below the short-term support level of 
24,750.
The Nifty opened on a positive note at 25,027.40 but lost its upward momentum, gradually declining to 
an intraday low of 24,728.90 before closing at 24,749.85. Except for IT, all the sectors were closed with a 
negative bias, with realty, auto, media, and FMCG being the biggest losers. Market breadth was weak, 
with 611 stocks advancing, 1,980 declining, and 153 remaining unchanged. The top gainers included 
INFY, TECHM, POWERGRID, and LT, while the biggest losers were Bajaj Auto, SHRIRAMFIN, Nestle Ind, 
and M&M.
From a technical perspective, momentum indicators continue to signal a negative trend, as Nifty remains 
below its short and medium-term moving averages. The index formed a black candle on the daily chart 
and closed just below the key support level of 24,750, suggesting that bearish momentum is likely to 
persist. If the index trades below 24,750, the downtrend could extend, with the next short-term support 
at 24,450. On the upside, the nearest intraday resistance is at 24,800, and a break above this level could 
trigger a pullback rally. 

Intraday levels:  

Support: 24,725, 24,650, 24,575
Resistance: 24,800, 24,860, 24,930 (15-Minute Charts) 

Positional trading levels:  

Short-term support: 24,750 – 24,450
Resistance: 25,500 – 26,275 

Bank Nifty technical outlook:  

In the previous trading session, Bank Nifty closed at 51,288.80, losing 512.25 points. Momentum 
indicators point to a continuing negative trend, with the index remaining below its short-term and 
medium-term moving averages. Additionally, the formation of a black candle on the daily chart, coupled 
with a close  near the day's low, signals the potential for further downside movement. 
On the lower side, Bank Nifty has intraday support at 51,150, while the intraday resistance stands at 
51,350. If the index moves below 51,150, the downtrend is expected to persist. For a shift toward a 
positive trend, the index needs to break above the resistance level of 51,350. 

Intraday levels:  

Support: 51,150, 51,000, 50,850
Resistance: 51,350, 51,535, 51,700 

Positional trading levels: 

Short-term support: 50,500 – 49,650
Resistance: 52,000 – 53,350
