After opening 43 points higher on the back of strong global cues, profit booking emerged at higher levels and persisted throughout the session. Nifty eventually ended the session with losses of 96 points or 0.37% to close at 25795. Trading activity was subdued, with NSE cash market volumes down by 24% compared to the previous session.

Despite today’s decline, the index extended its winning streak for the fourth consecutive week, adding 0.33%.

Among the Nifty constituents, Hindalco, ICICI Bank, and Bharti Airtel stood out as the top performers, while Cipla, Hindustan Unilever, and Max Healthcare came under pressure, ending as the major laggards.

Sectoral trends presented a mixed picture, with Metal, Realty, and Oil & Gas indices leading the gainers, whereas Healthcare, Private Bank, and FMCG sectors closed in the red.

The broader markets mirrored the benchmark’s weakness, witnessing mild profit booking at higher levels. Both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices slipped by 0.20% each. Market breadth remained weak, as reflected by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 0.81.

Despite the bout of profit booking seen today, the short-term trend for the Nifty remains firmly bullish as it is placed above the key short-term moving averages. Immediate support for the index is seen at 25580, where 11 DEMA is placed. On the upside, 25950 becomes the immediate resistance.

After facing selling pressure around the swing high of 26100 levels on Thursday, Nifty slipped into profit booking mode on Friday and closed the day lower by 96 points. Nifty opened on a positive note and slipped into weakness soon after the opening. There was an attempt of recovery in the mid to later part of the session and Nifty closed near the lows.

A long negative candle was formed on the daily chart with minor lower shadow. Technically, this market action indicates downward correction in the market after a stellar upmove recently.

The bullish pattern like higher tops and bottoms continued in Nifty as per daily timeframe chart and present weakness could be in line with the new higher bottom of the pattern. However, the higher bottom reversal pattern needs to be confirmed. Nifty on the weekly chart formed a small negative candle with long upper shadow, which signals consolidation movement at the highs.

The overall near-term trend of Nifty remains positive but the market is facing selling pressure as per short-term basis. Further weakness from here could bring crucial support around 25600-25500 levels, which could be a buy on dips opportunity for the next week. Immediate resistance is placed at 25950.

Nifty ended lower by 96 points to close at 25,795 (-0.4%), snapping a 6-day run-up. Markets were pressured by US sanctions on Russian oil companies and profit-taking by investors. Sentiment turned cautious as most sectors traded lower, led by weakness in FMCG, healthcare, and private bank indices, each down by 1%. In contrast, Nifty Metal gained 0.9%, tracking a rally in global metal prices after the White House confirmed a meeting between the US and Chinese Presidents on October 30. Hopes of easing trade tensions between the two countries, lifted sentiment in metal stocks.

The broader markets reflected consolidation, with Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 falling by 0.4% and 0.3% respectively, as overall market breadth turned negative. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net sellers to the tune of Rs 1,166 crore on Thursday after five consecutive days of buying, reflecting profit-booking activity; whereas Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained supportive with net inflows of Rs 3,893 crore.

On the macro front, India’s Composite PMI, fell to 59.9 (five-month low) in Oct’25 from 61.0 in September, as rising output prices weighed on business optimism. Further, investors would watch out for the US retail inflation data for Sep’25 to be released later today, especially to assess its impact on the US Fed’s interest rate decision next week.

Markets on Monday would react to the quarterly result of banking heavyweight Kotak Mahindra Bank to be announced over the weekend. Overall, we expect Indian equities to remain range bound, tracking global cues, upcoming Q2 results and macro-economic data. FII inflows and upbeat management commentaries could help sustain positive market momentum, though intermittent profit booking cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, any progress on the India-US trade deal front, could further uplift investor sentiments.

Markets extended their decline on Friday, with the Nifty slipping nearly 0.4% to close around 25,795. After a flat start, the index remained under pressure throughout the session amid broad-based selling. Sectorally, most indices moved in line with the benchmark, with FMCG, banking, and pharma among the top losers, while metals stood out, gaining over a percent. The broader indices also ended in the red, leading to weak market breadth.

Persistent profit booking in heavyweights after the recent rally, coupled with declines in FMCG majors post-earnings, weighed on sentiment. Additionally, volatility in global tech stocks and uncertainty surrounding upcoming U.S. inflation data further dampened risk appetite.

We maintain a bullish view despite the ongoing corrective phase and suggest retaining a positive bias as long as Nifty holds above 25,600. However, traders should remain selective, focusing on sectors showing relative strength, particularly large-cap and quality mid-cap stocks.

The domestic economy had largely reaped benefits from earlier reductions in crude prices throughout the year. The recent rise in crude prices has spurred continuation of profit booking in India. Additionally, investor sentiment took a hit after the HSBC Composite PMI for October dropped to its lowest level since May, primarily due to a slowdown in the services sector.

On a brighter note, the manufacturing PMI indicated some improvement, with companies experiencing a modest uptick in new orders and easing input cost pressures in October, attributed to the recent GST relief.

However, the current subdued trend is likely to persist in the short term until there is more clarity on the impact of the US sanctions on Russia and the overall availability of crude in the market.

The next 1–2 sessions might remain volatile; however, a sustained rally looks possible thereafter.

On the higher end, resistance is placed at 25,850, above which a rally towards 26,000–26,200 looks possible.
