The GIFT Nifty is signaling a strong start for Dalal Street, pointing to a 400-point gap-up for the Nifty 50 as trade resumes after the mid-week Diwali break and Tuesday’s symbolic Muhurat session. The implied open suggested the Nifty could start near record-high territory, just 409 points shy of its all-time peak of 26,277 hit on September 27, 2024. Positive cues have lifted sentiment during the two-day gap — US President Donald Trump’s Diwali celebration at the White House and his statement that India will reduce Russian oil purchases mark a softer diplomatic tone compared to his earlier remarks. Adding to the optimism are reports of potential H-1B visa relief, putting IT stocks in focus today. On the earnings front, Hindustan Unilever (HUL) will announce its Q2 results.

After a healthy three-day rally, the Nifty 50 has smartly broken past its falling resistance trendline and the June swing high, closing above 25,700 with a 0.5% gain on October 17 — just in time for the Diwali week celebrations. Experts say the index now looks poised for a strong bull run. A sustained close above the October 2024 bearish gap at 25,740 could open the gates to 26,000–26,300, levels last seen in September 2023. On the downside, immediate support stands at 25,500. GIFT Nifty hints at a gap-up start, and with the bulls extending their party after last year’s 2% gains, stocks like RIL, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, IndusInd and RBL Bank will be in focus.

Bulls held firm on Dalal Street for yet another session, pushing the Nifty 50 one percent higher on October 16 — its highest close since June. The rally was backed by strong technical and momentum indicators, reflecting a clear pre-Diwali celebration mood among investors. Experts believe the index could soon retest this year’s high of 25,669, and possibly march toward 26,000 — a crucial resistance level before the record peak. On the downside, 25,400–25,300 remains a key support zone. However, global cues this morning are subdued, with Wall Street ending lower amid concerns over regional banks’ lending practices.

Bulls staged a strong comeback, driving the Nifty 50 higher by 0.71% on October 15, after a couple of days of consolidation. The rally has now taken the index close to the falling resistance trendline. The continuation of the higher high–higher low formation and healthy momentum indicators suggest that the index is gradually inching toward 24,400–24,500, the September swing high. Beyond that, 25,670 remains the crucial hurdle to watch, a breakout above could open the door to fresh record highs. On the downside, 25,150 is expected to act as immediate support, followed by 25,050, which forms the key support zone, according to experts.

The Nifty 50 extended its southward journey for the second consecutive session, slipping 0.32% on October 14. Despite the dip, the index remains above key moving averages and the midline of the Bollinger Bands, with momentum indicators still favouring the bulls. Experts suggest that as long as 25,060 and 24,950 support levels hold, consolidation and range-bound trading may continue, but a break below could give the bears the upper hand.
