Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities
Today, the benchmark indices witnessed narrow-range activity. The Nifty ends 34 points higher, while the Sensex gained 144 points. Among sectors, selective buying was seen in capital goods stocks, whereas the Realty and Media indices continued to experience profit booking at higher levels. Technically, after a muted open, the market hovered between 24,770/81,200 and 24,900/81,600 price ranges. A small candle on the daily charts and the narrow range activity on intraday charts indicate indecisiveness between bulls and bears.
We are of the view that as long as the market trades above 24,750/81,200, the pullback formation is likely to continue. On the higher side, the market could move up to 25,000/82,000, with further upside potentially pushing the indices to 25,075/82,200. On the downside, if the market falls below 24,750/81,200, we could see a fresh round of selling. Below this level, the market is likely to retest the levels of 24,650-24600/81,000-80,700.
The intraday market texture is non-directional. Therefore, level-based trading would be the ideal strategy for day traders.
Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities
After witnessing a sustainable upmove from the swing lows of 24600 levels on Tuesday, Nifty shifted into a narrow range movement with positive bias on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 33 points. After opening on a positive note, the market slipped into minor weakness in the early part of the session. Though, Nifty recovered from the lows, it was not able to show any sharp upside in the mid to later part of the session.
The Bullish Engulfing pattern that formed on Tuesday is still intact. Hence the formation of small candle pattern of Wednesday could be considered as a range bound action below the immediate hurdle of 24900-25000, as per change in polarity. After the present range bound action, the market is expected to break above the said resistance in the coming sessions.
The underlying trend of Nifty remains positive. A sustainable upmove above the hurdle of 24900-25000 levels is likely to pull the market towards the next important resistance area of 25250 levels in the near term. Immediate support is placed at 24750.

Earnings Watch | Interglobe Aviation Q1 net profit at Rs 2,176 crore and revenue at Rs 20,496 crore
Vaibhav Vidwani, Research Analyst at Bonanza
Today, Indian markets ended higher in a choppy session, with the Sensex gaining 144 points to close at 81,482 and the Nifty rising 34 points to finish at 24,855. The positive closing was mainly driven by strong earnings from blue-chip companies like Larsen & Toubro (L&T), whose shares surged over 4% after posting robust Q1 results, boosting investor sentiment despite looming concerns over the upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve policy decision and uncertainty around the U.S.–India trade deal.
NTPC, Asian Paints, and select financial heavyweights like HDFC Bank also supported the indices. Most sectoral indices traded mixed; while autos and realty witnessed some profit-booking, infra, utilities, and select pharma stocks saw interest. The session was also marked by liquidity diversions towards multiple new IPOs such as NSDL, which saw strong investor response.
Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities
Rupee traded weak, breaching the 87.40 mark with a decline of 0.72%, as rising crude prices and a stronger dollar index weighed on sentiment.
Market participants remain cautious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy announcement tonight, with additional key U.S. data lined up this week likely to keep volatility elevated.
The rupee is expected to trade within a broader range of 87.00–87.70.
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
The Nifty traded within a narrow range, remaining below the 50 EMA on the daily timeframe. The short-term trend remains slightly weak as the index continues to sustain below this critical moving average. However, the possibility of a meaningful recovery stays intact, supported by a bullish reversal pattern formation and a hidden positive divergence.
In simple terms, the index may continue to move up towards 25,000–25,200 in the short term, with support placed at 24,750. A break below this level could weaken market sentiment.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments
The domestic market ended the session marginally positive after a range-bound trade, despite ongoing uncertainty around the delayed India-US trade agreement and mixed earnings. The investors turned more stock/sector specific based on the Q1 results; the industrial segment gained momentum after robust earnings from L&T. The auto sector underperformed, largely due to tariff-related pressures. Investors are now focusing on the US Fed’s policy meeting, as its stance on rates and inflation could shape global sentiment.
Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking
Markets traded in a tight range and ended marginally higher amid mixed cues. After a flat start, the Nifty oscillated within a narrow band throughout the session and finally settled at 24,855.05. Sentiment remained subdued due to lingering uncertainty over the trade deal, following the latest statement from the US President about potential tariffs on India, amid delays in finalizing the agreement ahead of the August 1 deadline. Additionally, caution prevailed ahead of the outcome of the FOMC meeting — while no rate change is expected, the Fed's commentary will be closely watched.
On the sectoral front, a mixed trend kept traders active. IT and FMCG ended marginally in the green, while realty and auto declined. The broader market also saw mixed action — the midcap index closed flat, whereas the smallcap index slipped nearly half a percent.
Participants will react to the US Fed Chair’s commentary in early Thursday trades. On the index front, the 25,000–25,100 zone is expected to act as a resistance and may attract fresh selling if the market attempts a rebound, while support is seen around the 24,450–24,550 zone. Given the likelihood of volatile swings, we recommend maintaining a cautious stance and prefer a hedged approach.

Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan
Indian Rupee tanked sharply on uncertainty over India-US trade deal after US President Donald Trump hinted at tariff rates of around 20-25% ahead of the deadline of August 1. Surge in global crude oil prices and FII outflows too pressurised the Rupee. However, positive domestic markets cushioned the downside. Economic data from the US was mixed as JOLTS job openings trailed forecast while CB consumer confidence topped estimates.
We expect the Rupee to slide further amid uncertainty over trade deal between India and the US. Rising global oil prices and foreign outflows may also keep the Rupee under the leash. FIIs continue to remain as net sellers. Month end Dollar demand from importers may further pressurise the Rupee. Trader may take cues from Q2 2025 GDP, ADP non farm employment and pending home sales data from the US. Investors may remain cautious ahead of US FOMC meeting today and Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision tomorrow. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 87 to Rs 87.90.

CDSL, India’s only listed depository, currently holds a market cap of around Rs 32,000 crore. In contrast, NSDL’s upcoming IPO is expected to value it at roughly Rs 16,000 crore — a notable discount considering NSDL’s much larger scale across key metrics.
As of FY25, NSDL holds securities worth Rs 464 trillion, nearly 6.5 times that of CDSL’s Rs 71 trillion. It also dominates institutional accounts, with over 10.47 lakh non-retail investor accounts compared to CDSL’s 2.17 lakh. Although CDSL leads in retail demat accounts, NSDL outperforms in revenue efficiency, earning almost three times more operational revenue per investor. NSDL leads in number of accounts held by investors other than resident individuals (like corporate, FPI, HNIs).
While CDSL benefits from broader retail participation, NSDL’s strength lies in institutional flows and its commanding position in the F&O segment. This valuation gap reflects market optimism around NSDL’s growth potential and operational robustness, signaling strong demand ahead of the IPO.
NSDL has more companies using its platform to hold shares in dematerialize form. As of FY23, about 40,897 companies are linked to NSDL, which is almost double compared to 20,323 companies on CDSL. This shows that NSDL is more widely used by companies and plays a bigger role in India’s share market system.
After COVID, many retail investors started investing in the market, which helped CDSL grow quickly. This led to a big jump in new accounts, especially in FY22. But in FY23, this growth slowed down. As retail growth starts to settle, the market may start focusing more on core strengths like how much money each investor brings in and how strong a company is with big institutional clients. In these areas, NSDL is stronger, which makes it attractive in the long run.
