The Nifty 50 notched its fourth straight gain on August 19, adding 0.4 percent, though it stayed within the previous day’s range. The index continues to trade above key moving averages, with momentum indicators signaling a bullish crossover. Experts suggest that while some consolidation may follow the recent rally, the broader trend remains positive. A decisive move above 25,000 is seen as critical for a further climb toward 25,250, while 24,850 (Monday’s low) is likely to provide near-term support. Meanwhile, gaming stocks such as Nazara Tech and Delta Corp will be in focus after the government moved to ban all money-based gaming transactions under the Online Gaming Bill.

The Nifty 50 staged a strong performance on August 18, rising 1 percent on buzz around GST reforms. The index opened with a robust gap-up and is trading above key moving averages, supported by bullish momentum indicators. Experts say as long as it defends the gap between 24,670–24,850, the index could advance toward 25,000 and even 25,250, while the 24,700–24,600 zone remains strong support and 24,337 is seen as the near-term bottom. Global cues remain mixed—Asian markets are cautious with the Nikkei retreating, GIFT Nifty signals a mildly positive start, and Wall Street ended lower ahead of Jackson Hole and retail earnings.

Indian markets are poised to kick off the week on a strong footing as the GIFT Nifty is signalling a gap up start this morning. The Nifty 50 saw rangebound trading on August 14, though it extended its upmove for another session. The index remained within Tuesday's range and sustained above the 100-day EMA for the last two days. According to experts, as long as it trades below the 50-day EMA (24,813), consolidation is expected to continue, with immediate support at 24,465, followed by a key support level at 24,350. On the flip side, the index is expected to face a hurdle at 24,700. If it sustains above this level, 24,800 will be the next level to watch, followed by the 25,000 zone. The centre’s proposed GST overhaul may provide the much needed booster shot to the bulls. Auto stocks and consumer durables will be in focus. Meanwhile all eyes will be on Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy after his summit with Putin ended without a peace deal.

The Nifty 50 extended its recovery on August 13, marking a third straight session of higher lows and closing 0.54% higher ahead of today’s weekly F&O expiry. The index reclaimed the 100-day EMA (24,589) — a positive signal — with this level now acting as immediate support, followed by Tuesday’s low of 24,465. As long as these supports hold, experts see room for an upward move toward 24,700 (immediate hurdle) and the crucial 24,800–24,850 zone in the coming sessions. Global cues are mixed, with GIFT Nifty indicating a muted start. Stocks in focus include Infosys, Jubilant Foodworks, and others, while JSW Cement makes its market debut today.

The Nifty 50 gave back some of its previous day’s gains on August 12, closing 98 points lower after failing to hold the 100-day EMA. The index dropped over 200 points from the day’s high of 24,700, which now stands as an immediate resistance, followed by the key hurdle near the 50-day EMA at 24,850. Experts say the market may continue consolidating until these levels are decisively broken, with strong support at 24,300 — a breach of which could trigger renewed bearish momentum. Global cues remain positive, with Wall Street rallying overnight and GIFT Nifty signaling a strong start. Stocks to watch include ONGC, Apollo Hospitals, and Nykaa.

The Nifty 50 staged a sharp rebound on August 11, climbing 222 points and recovering nearly all of the previous day’s losses, signalling the possibility of a bullish trend reversal. Experts say follow-through buying is key, with 24,330 acting as crucial support. A move past 24,650 could pave the way toward the 24,800–24,850 resistance zone, potentially triggering a larger rally, while failure to sustain may keep the index in consolidation mode. Global cues are mixed with Wall Street paused ahead of key CPI data, while Asian markets are upbeat after former US President Trump extended the China tariff deadline by 90 days. Stocks to watch include ONGC, Bata India, and Medi Assist among others.

The Nifty 50 failed to see follow-through buying on August 8 as selling pressure dragged it to a three-month low, ending 233 points lower amid rising concerns over the impact of US tariffs on Indian exports. The index, already trading below its short- to medium-term moving averages, has now slipped beneath the 100-day EMA, with momentum indicators also weakening — pointing to a bearish outlook. A break below the 200-day EMA (24,200) in the coming sessions could open the door to the 50-week EMA (24,000) as the next support. On the upside, the 24,500 mark is expected to act as resistance, according to experts. Global cues are mixed this morning, though the GIFT Nifty is in the green. Among stocks in focus, keep an eye on Tata Motors as it reacts to earnings, and Home First, which is likely to see a large block deal today.

Markets ended the day with minor cuts, trimming deeper losses in the final hour of trade. The Nifty slipped below the 24,700 mark, weighed down by heavyweights like Reliance Industries and banking majors ICICI and HDFC Bank. Financials led the drag, while broader markets also remained under pressure with the Nifty Midcap index slipping 0.4%.

The Nifty 50 staged a pullback rally on August 4, recovering from over a 1% loss seen the previous week. However, the index continues to form lower highs and lower lows, with momentum indicators still flashing bearish signals. Experts say the trend will likely remain under pressure unless the Nifty decisively closes above key short- and medium-term moving averages. On the upside, 24,800 remains an immediate hurdle, with 24,950 acting as a key resistance. On the downside, support is seen at 24,500–24,550, a break down below this zone could strengthen the bearish grip. Stocks to watch today: Airtel and Britannia will be reporting earnings, a block deal in Paytm is likely, and IndusInd Bank has received the RBI’s nod to appoint Rajiv Anand as MD & CEO.

Indian markets kicked off the August series on a weak note, with the Nifty 50 slipping below its 100-day EMA on August 1st, ending the day 0.8% lower. Momentum indicators are flashing red, with the index continuing to form lower highs and lower lows. Experts warn that a breach below the crucial 24,500 mark could intensify selling pressure, dragging the index towards the 24,200–24,000 zone. On the upside, a bounce back will face resistance near 24,700–24,800, and unless the Nifty decisively crosses 25,000, expect further consolidation. All eyes now on two big triggers this week — the RBI’s policy decision and August 7 when the 25% tariff kicks in.
