The downtrend continued in the market on Thursday and Nifty closed the day lower by 87 points. After opening lower, the market was not able to sustain the highs, as it declined consistently by forming lower highs and lower lows as per intraday basis.

A long bear candle was formed on the daily chart with long upper shadow. Technically, this market action indicates a sell on rise opportunity. Formation of upper shadows in the last 5-6 candles during downtrend signal presence of strong resistance on the rise.

The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be weak. The market is now entering a crucial support zone around 25400 levels (previous upside broken trend line resistance as per change in polarity). Immediate resistance is placed at 25700.

Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical Research and Derivatives at SBI Securities

On Thursday, the benchmark index Nifty 50 extended its decline for the second consecutive session, settling near the 25,500 mark, down 0.34%. The index formed a bearish candle with an upper shadow on the daily chart, indicating that sellers remained active at higher levels. The follow-through selling indicates that bulls attempted to regain control but failed to sustain intraday rebounds, allowing sellers to dominate the price action.

In the past two sessions, Nifty has slipped by more than 300 points, closing below its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) — a key short-term trend indicator. This technical breakdown suggests a shift in sentiment, as the index transitions from a bullish to a neutral-to-weak bias.

On the sectoral front, performance was largely mixed. Nifty IT and Nifty Auto managed to end marginally in the green, showcasing selective buying interest in defensives and autos. In contrast, Nifty Metal and Bank Nifty emerged as the worst-performing sectors, exerting pressure on the broader market.

The broader markets underperformed their frontline peers, with Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices declining 0.94% and 1.39%, respectively — reflecting broad-based profit booking. The market breadth tilted decisively in favour of the bears. Out of the Nifty 500 universe, 200 stocks closed in the green while nearly 300 ended in the red, underscoring a weak market undertone.

Nifty View

The benchmark index Nifty 50 has now corrected nearly 600 points from its recent high recorded on October 23, marking a clear short-term reversal from overbought territory. On the daily chart, the index has formed a bearish candle with a pronounced upper shadow, signifying persistent selling pressure and the emergence of a supply zone at higher levels.

Importantly, the index’s close below the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) confirms short-term weakness and indicates that the ongoing phase is a healthy corrective decline within the broader uptrend. From a momentum standpoint, the daily RSI has slipped below the 50 mark, reflecting a cooling of bullish momentum and a loss of immediate buying strength among market participants.

Technically, the current structure suggests that the index could extend its decline below the 25,450 level, which may drag it further towards the 25,300 zone, followed by 25,150 in the near term. On the higher side, the 25,680–25,700 zone is expected to act as a crucial resistance area, and only a sustained move above this band could negate the short-term weakness and open the door for a potential recovery.

Bank Nifty View

The benchmark banking index Bank Nifty extended its decline for the second consecutive session and is currently consolidating near its previous swing support zone. On the daily chart, the index has formed a bearish candle with a long upper shadow, indicating that bulls struggled to surpass higher levels as sellers remained active, exerting pressure throughout the session.

Going ahead, the 20-day EMA zone of 57400-57300 will act as immediate support for the index. Any sustainable move below the level of 57300 will lead to further correction upto 56800 level. While, on the upside, the zone of 57900-58000 will act as crucial hurdle for the index.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

The Nifty slipped below the critical 21EMA on the daily timeframe, indicating weakness. However, the index has declined towards the support of the previous swing high, placed around 25,450.

Going forward. if the index falls below 25,450, the short-term trend might weaken further. On the other hand, if it holds above 25,450, a significant trend reversal might occur.

Abhinav Tiwari, Research Analyst at Bonanza

Today, Indian equity markets ended lower amid profit booking. The Nifty 50 slipped 88 points to close at 25,509, and the Sensex fell 148 points to 83,311. The broader indices also declined, Nifty Midcap was down 0.7% and Smallcap 1.2%, reflecting broad-based caution.

The fall was driven by sustained FII outflows and weakness in key sectors. Foreign investors sold Rs. 1,067 crore on November 4, taking their 2025 net outflows to nearly Rs. 1.49 lakh crore. Metals led the losses, with Hindalco down 5.17%, Adani Enterprises down 4.36%, and Hindustan Copper down 3.04% after weak global cues.

DIIs remained the key support, buying Rs. 1,203 crore and cushioning the fall. Their steady inflows continue to offset heavy FII selling. The RBI’s growth-focused policy stance, supported by recent rate cuts, has kept liquidity and credit momentum healthy. However, stretched valuations and global uncertainty are keeping markets range-bound.

Going forward, market direction will depend on foreign inflows and Q2 FY26 earnings. Investors are watching key results such as LIC’s upcoming release for cues on profitability and growth. On the macro front, the rupee is stable around 88.6 due to RBI intervention, while global markets priced in a 65% chance of another rate cut in December.

Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities

Rupee traded slightly positive at 88.60, gaining 0.09 paise, supported by weakness in the dollar index, which slipped below the 100 mark. However, persistent FII selling limited the rupee’s upside momentum, keeping the domestic currency under mild pressure. Market participants are now focused on key U.S. economic data releases this week, including the ISM Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing PMI, which could influence dollar movement and global risk sentiment.

The rupee is expected to remain range-bound in the near term, with a trading band seen between 88.40–88.90.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments

Volatility dominated the domestic market, with broad-based profit booking seen amid continued FII outflows, despite supportive Asian market. Early optimism from the inclusion of four Indian companies in the MSCI Global Standard Index and strong U.S. macro data was offset by weak domestic PMI readings, indicating softening sentiment.

Most sectors traded lower, though IT stocks remained resilient, supported by in-line earnings and improvement in US macro data.

Amid overall caution, selective buying emerged in fundamentally strong companies due to better-than-expected Q2 earnings.

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments 

October marked a reversal of the sustained selling by FIIs seen in the previous three months.For October  FIIs bought equity for Rs 3902 crores through the exchanges.

However, this figure includes some bulk deals too. The trend of sustained buying/ investing through the primary continued in October too with a buy figure of Rs 10707 crores.

The red hot IPO market and the high premium investors are willing to pay for new issues are encouraging FIIs to invest through the primary market.

For 2025, so far, total FII investment through the primary market stands at Rs 54292 crores. This is in sharp contrast to the total sell figure through exchanges till the end of October at Rs 194201 crores. ( Source: NSDL)

The aggregate buy figure through the exchanges in October doesn’t mean that the FIIs will continue to be in buy mode, going forward. The relatively higher valuations in India may prompt FIIs to sell again. Whether FIIs will buy or sell will depend on the trajectory of India’s corporate sector’s earnings growth.

There are clear signs of earnings recovery now. If the brisk demand conditions in the market sustains, earnings will improve, which, in turn, will make valuations fair. In such a scenario FIIs will turn buyers.

Sensex Today | Except Consumer Durables, all other sectors trade lower

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

Despite the IPO being a 100% Offer for Sale (OFS), the issue witnessed subscription demand above street expectations, reflecting strong investor interest.

While considering the current muted market sentiment, listing was very much flat on the issue price. Decent flat listing give away a great opportunity for long term investors  as we continue to believes that Orkla India, a market-leading packaged food and spices company backed by iconic brands such as MTR and Eastern, presents a compelling long-term structural growth story. The strong response to the issue underscores confidence in the company’s fundamentals and its ability to capitalize on the growing demand for convenience foods across key geographies.

So allotted investors are advised to hold the stock from a long-term investment perspective, while being mindful of inherent market risks. For non-allotted investors, Mehta Equities suggests a ‘Wait and Watch’ approach to evaluate any post-listing correction as a potential entry opportunity.
