The Nifty 50 failed to sustain its intraday recovery and ended flat with a negative bias on December 18, extending its downtrend for the fourth straight session and continuing the lower high–lower low formation. However, both the Nifty and Bank Nifty appear to have formed a bullish reversal-type pattern. The index managed to hold above the 50-day EMA and an upward-sloping support trendline on a closing basis. Experts say a rebound could face resistance in the 25,900–26,000 zone, while a decisive break below 25,750–25,700 may open the door for a deeper correction toward 25,500–25,450. Among stocks in focus today are IT names after Accenture’s earnings, while Bharti Airtel will be watched amid a series of senior leadership changes and Vodafone Idea is in focus after it raises Rs 3,300 crore NCD raise to fund growth.

The Nifty 50 extended its downtrend for a third consecutive session on December 17, slipping nearly 0.2% and maintaining a lower high–lower low formation. The index remained below short-term moving averages and edged closer to the 50-day EMA (25,765) with weakening momentum indicators pointing to a bearish bias. Experts say the 25,750–25,700 zone is the immediate support to watch, and a decisive break below this range could drag the index toward the crucial 25,500 level. On the upside, resistance is seen in the 25,950–26,050 zone, with a sustained move above it potentially opening the door for a rebound toward 26,300. Among stocks in focus today are TCS and Ola Electric, among others. Meanwhile, SEBI has approved new norms for mutual fund expense ratios, excluding statutory levies from the calculation and capping brokerage for cash market transactions at 6 basis points.

Nifty 50 failed to sustain above the key psychological 26,000 mark and closed 0.64% lower on December 16. The index was unable to register a decisive close above its falling resistance trendline and ended the session below short-term moving averages, highlighting continued weakness among bulls and the persistence of a lower high–lower low formation. Experts say as long as the index remains below 26,100, consolidation is likely to continue, with immediate support seen around the 25,750 zone. However, a convincing move above 26,100 could open the door for a rebound toward the 26,200–26,300 levels. In stocks to watch today, gas companies will be in focus after the PNGRB notified a uniform natural gas tariff structure.

The Nifty 50 extended its rally for the second straight session on December 12, ending nearly 0.6% higher after a strong gap-up start. With Friday’s gains, the index climbed above short-term moving averages, reclaiming the key 25,950–26,000 zone — crucial for sustaining its upward momentum. Experts say holding above these levels could pave the way for a move toward 26,200–26,300, while a decisive fall below could trigger consolidation, with support at 25,750–25,700. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a weak start today, with global cues also subdued.

Nifty extended gains after the RBI delivered a 25 bps rate cut, even though the index briefly paused its winning streak during the week. The central bank’s 125 bps easing for 2025 and fresh liquidity measures lifted market sentiment, with banking and financial stocks leading the charge. Defence stocks may stay in focus ahead of the Putin–Modi summit, and sentiment remains supported by steady inflows and expectations of a Fed rate cut.

The Nifty 50 snapped its four-day losing streak on December 4, gaining 0.2% to close above the previous day’s high and reclaim the 26,000 mark. The index also held firm above its 20-day EMA. Experts say as long as Nifty defends the 25,900 level, an upside toward 26,100–26,300 remains likely amid ongoing consolidation. A decisive drop below this zone, however, could open the door to 25,840 — a crucial support. Among stocks to watch: HUL and ITC Hotels. The focus, though, remains on the RBI’s policy decision today — with the Street expecting a 25-basis-point rate cut even as strong growth and a weak rupee could keep the central bank cautious.

The Nifty 50 remained under pressure for the fourth straight session on December 3, slipping 0.2% amid persistent weakness in momentum indicators. However, the index managed to hold above its 20-day EMA (25,970) on a closing basis. Experts say a decisive move below these levels could strengthen the bears and drag the index toward 25,840 - last Wednesday’s low. On the upside, a rebound above 26,070 and 26,150 may offer short-term relief, though traders are advised to stay cautious. Global cues remain mixed, with the GIFT Nifty signaling a subdued start on Sensex expiry day. Among stocks in focus today: JSW Steel, IEX, and Pine Labs, while defence stocks could see action as Russian President Vladimir Putin begins his India visit.
