NIFTY 50

Bulls appear unwilling to give up control of the market to bears, having led the charge for the seventh consecutive session on September 10. Their momentum finally drove the Nifty 50 above the 25,000 mark on a closing basis for the first time since August 21. The index closed above the falling resistance trendline and also negated the lower high–lower low formation, supported by a bullish crossover of the 10-day EMA over the 20- and 50-day EMAs — all signaling a positive trend.

Momentum indicators and oscillators also maintained a positive crossover. Hence, if the index sustains above the 25,000 level in the upcoming sessions, 25,150 could act as an immediate target, followed by 25,250 as a crucial hurdle for the continuation of the upward trend. On the downside, 24,800 is expected to serve as the key support zone, according to experts.

After experiencing morning volatility, the Nifty 50 gained strength in the afternoon and closed 32 points higher at 25,006, forming a bullish candle with a minor upper shadow on the daily charts. This indicates a positive trend despite some selling pressure at higher levels amid rangebound trading.

According to Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, the underlying trend of the Nifty remains positive, albeit with choppy movement.

“Any failure to move sharply above the important resistance of 25,000–25,100 levels in the next 1–2 sessions could open short-term weakness in the market. Immediate support is at 24,800,” he said.

Options Data

Weekly options data indicated that the Nifty is likely to trade in the 24,800–25,500 range in the upcoming sessions.

The maximum Call open interest was observed at the 25,500 strike, followed by the 25,000 and 25,200 strikes. Maximum Call writing was seen at the 25,400, 25,500, and 25,200 strikes.

On the Put side, the 25,000 strike holds the maximum Put open interest, followed by 24,900 and 24,800 strikes. Maximum Put writing was observed at the 25,000, 24,900, and 24,950 strikes.

Bank Nifty

The Bank Nifty also continued its uptrend, climbing 134 points to close at 54,670, forming a bullish candle on the daily timeframe. It closed above the 20-day EMA and sustained above the 10-day EMA, both of which are considered crucial for further upward movement.

According to Sudeep Shah, Head – Technical Research and Derivatives at SBI Securities, the 100-day EMA zone of 54,800–54,900 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Any sustainable move above the 54,900 level will lead to a further upside rally up to the 55,400 level.

On the downside, the 54,400–54,300 zone will act as a crucial support area for the index, he added.

India VIX

Meanwhile, the India VIX, the fear index, fell further to close at 10.36, its lowest closing level since April 24, 2024 — nearly a 17-month low — down 1.68 percent. This decline indicates increased comfort for bulls and greater market stability, along with a high level of investor confidence.

Technical View: Nifty needs to hold 25,000 for bulls to eye 25,150; Bank Nifty above 20-DEMA, VIX at 17-month low

Bulls appear unwilling to give up control of the market to bears, having led the charge for the seventh consecutive session on September 10. Their momentum finally drove the Nifty 50 above the 25,000 mark on a closing basis for the first time since August 21.

Hence, if the index sustains above the 25,000 level in the upcoming sessions, 25,150 could act as an immediate target, followed by 25,250 as a crucial hurdle for the continuation of the upward trend. On the downside, 24,800 is expected to serve as the key support zone, according to experts.

After experiencing morning volatility, the Nifty 50 gained strength in the afternoon and closed 32 points higher at 25,006, forming a bullish candle with a minor upper shadow on the daily charts.

Taking Stock: Nifty closes above 25,000, Sensex rises 123 pts; oil &amp; gas, power stocks gain, IT falls

Nifty 50 extended its winning streak to the seventh session, closing above the key 25,000-mark, while Sensex also rose 100 points on Thursday, September 11. The gains were a result of buying seen across PSU Banks and Pharma stocks.

At close, the <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/indian-indices/sensex-4.html">Sensex</a> was up 123.58 points or 0.15 percent at 81,548.73, and the Nifty was up 32.40 points or 0.13 percent at 25,005.50. About 1,993 shares advanced, 1,952 shares declined, and 137 shares unchanged.

Sectoral performance was mixed, with banking, energy and media indices leading the gains while auto and IT stocks weighed on sentiment. Nifty Media was the top performer, advancing 1.02 percent, followed by Nifty Energy which added 0.88 percent and Nifty PSU Bank which climbed 0.74 percent. Infra and Metal indices also ended higher with gains of 0.55 percent and 0.34 percent respectively.

On the other hand, Nifty Auto slipped 0.33 percent and Nifty IT declined 0.5 percent, extending weakness in technology counters. Realty remained flat, while FMCG and Pharma managed marginal gains of 0.18 percent and 0.46 percent each.

India has underperformed compared to other global markets, said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments. Largely this underperformance is the correction of the overvaluation caused by sustained domestic capital inflows into the market. Now the largecaps are fairly valued, but the mid and smallcaps, particularly the latter, continue to be overvalued.

Going ahead, 24,920 and 24,850 levels will act as key support zones for traders. “As long as the market continues to trade above these levels, the bullish trend is likely to continue. On the upside, the index can move towards 25,100–25,200. On the other hand, if the market falls below 24,850, traders can consider exiting their long positions,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.

Live: Sensex flat on expiry day; Nifty extends gain for 7th day, reclaims 25,000 | Closing Bell

The equity benchmark indices settled higher on Thursday, with the Sensex recovering more than 300 points from the day's low, and Nifty settling above 25,000 tracking positive cues from Asian markets amid expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut next week.

Renewed optimism over the resumption of India-US trade talks also supported investor sentiment.

Rallying for the fourth day in a row, the Sensex climbed 123.58 points or 0.15 percent to settle at 81,548.73. During the day, it rallied 217.07 points or 0.26 percent to 81,642.22. The Nifty rose by 32.40 points or 0.13 percent to close at a nearly three-week high of 25,005.50, marking its seventh consecutive day of gains.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/power-generationdistribution/ntpc/NTP">NTPC</a>, Axis Bank, Power Grid, Bharti Airtel, <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/online-services/eternal/Z">Eternal</a> and Sun Pharma were the major gainers.

1) US Fed rate cut hopes: Analysts said hopes of a US Fed rate cut and easing trade concerns following President Donald Trump’s statement that Washington and New Delhi would resume negotiations helped markets stay in the green.
