Nifty remained weak throughout the day as the index failed to sustain above 25,950. Bears took control of the session when Nifty failed to move decisively above this level.

On the lower end, the support at 25,800 was broken, setting a bearish tone. In the short term, the trend is likely to remain weak with the potential to decline towards 25,525. On the higher end, resistance is placed at 25,850, above which the trend may turn positive.

The profit booking in Nifty continued for the second consecutive sessions on Friday and Nifty closed the day lower by 155 points. After opening on a positive note, the market failed to sustain the highs and slipped into declines in the early to mid-part of the session. Fresh weakness got triggered in the later part and Nifty closed at the lows.

A long bear candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper shadow. Technically, this market acter indicates an emergence of profit booking in the market after a stellar upmove. Nifty is currently trading within a broader high low range of around 26100-25700 levels and is now placed at the lower range.

The short-term trend of Nifty is weak, but the overall medium-term trend of the market remains positive. Any slide below 25700 levels, the market is expected to find strong support around 25500 levels and there is a higher possibility of sharp upside bounce from the lows by next week. Immediate resistance is placed at 26100.

After swinging between gains and losses, Nifty 50 and Sensex settled on a muted noted as investors took some profits off the table on October 31.

At close, the <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/indian-indices/sensex-4.html">Sensex</a> was down 465.75 points or 0.55 percent at 83,938.71, and the Nifty was down 155.75 points or 0.60 percent at 25,722.10. About 1,731 shares advanced, 2,240 shares declined, and 138 shares were unchanged.

PSU Banks were the sole sectoral outlier, jumping 1.3 percent despite the muted market sentiment. The Oil &amp; Gas index also eked out gains, to settle 0.07 percent higher. Meanwhile, all other sectoral indices closed with losses. The Media index fell 1.3 percent, leading the laggards, while the metal index also closed one percent down. FMCG, IT, pharma counters also slipped, reflecting broad-based selling pressure.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments said investors booked profits amid mixed corporate earnings and cautious global sentiment in the backdrop of a strong greenback. Most sectors closed in the red, pressured by renewed FII selling which have turned cautious after Powell’s hawkish statement and US-China trade development did not meet expectations.

"However, PSU banks outperformed on expectations of increased FDI limits and better Q2 results. After a strong rally, the markets are on a profit booking mode as a large part of the economic developments are factored in. Buy on dips is expected to stay as a trading strategy as optimism remain solid on a QoQ basis," he added.

Price action suggests that while bulls have temporarily lost momentum, the broader structure remains intact as long as Nifty sustains above 25,660. "A decisive close below this level could trigger further downside toward 25,400–25,250, whereas a rebound and sustained move above 26,000 will likely reestablish bullish momentum, paving the way for a move toward 26,150–26,300," said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

Live: Nifty snaps 4-week gains, slips below 25,800 | Closing Bell

The equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty extended losses for the second straight day on Friday, as persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and weak global cues dented investor sentiment.

The Sensex tanked 465.75 points or 0.55 percent to settle at 83,938.71. During the day, it dropped 498.8 points or 0.59 percent to 83,905.66. The Nifty fell by 155.75 points or 0.6 per cent to 25,722.10.

&nbsp;

However, equity benchmarks logged their biggest monthly gains in seven months in October as strong corporate earnings and reasonable valuations drew in foreign investors.

The Nifty 50 and the Sensex gained 4.5 percent and 4.6 percent in October, settling 2.1 percent and 2.4 percent below their all-time highs reached in September 2024.

<a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/power-generationdistribution/ntpc/NTP">NTPC</a>, <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/online-services/eternal/Z">ETERNAL</a>, Max Healthcare Institute, Cipla and InterGlobe Aviation were among the major laggards in the Nifty pack, declining up to 2 percent.

Key factors behind market decline

1) FII selling: FIIs offloaded equities worth Rs 3,077.59 crore on Thursday, marking the second consecutive session of net selling after pulling out Rs 2,540.16 crore on Wednesday. Analysts said the continuous withdrawal by overseas investors has turned market sentiment weak.

Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, noted that the "renewed selling by FIIs is likely to be a drag on the market in the near-term."

2) Weak global cues: Weak cues from Asian markets also weighed on domestic equities, with Shanghai’s SSE Composite Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index quoting lower. US markets ended in negative territory on Thursday.

"Global markets are trading mixed this Friday morning, reflecting investor caution after US indices closed lower overnight. Investors remain guarded as they assess the Federal Reserve’s latest policy signals and await upcoming economic data for clarity on the global outlook. Across Asia, the market tone is largely uneven, with investors treading cautiously ahead of the weekend amid lingering global volatility,” Ponmudi R, CEO, Enrich Money told PTI.

3) Lack of clarity on US-China trade deal: U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping concluded talks on Thursday at a South Korean air base with both leaders sounding optimistic about cooling trade tension between the world's two largest economies. However, analysts said it lacked a comprehensive agreement.

V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said the outcome of the recent Trump-Xi summit offered only a one-year truce in the US-China trade dispute, rather than a comprehensive deal, leaving markets disappointed despite some relief from easing tensions.

4) Selling in bank shares: SEBI has notified new rules for Bank Nifty, including the requirement that the sectoral index should have minimum 14 constituents as against the current 12. Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank were among the major laggards in the pack. The top three constituents (HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI) will see a gradual weight reduction across four tranches, reported CNBC-Awaaz on October 31. The channel added that Yes Bank, Indian Bank, Union Bank and Bank of India could be four new candidates for inclusion.

On the technical front, Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, "What was emerging as a bullish continuation pattern is now evolving into a topping formation. Yesterday’s dip extended to our downside marker of 25,886, pointing to underlying weakness. While some initial recovery is possible, upswings are likely to face resistance near 25,960, followed by further declines. A sustained move above 25,960 could delay or prevent a potential fall towards 25,700–25,400."
