Nifty fell for the fifth straight session, Closes Below 25,000

 Nifty continued its southward journey for the fifth session on the trot on the back of weak global cues, losing 166 points or 0.66%, to close at 24890. Nifty has given away more than 50% of the gains which was registered from 29th Aug 2025 bottom (24404) to 18th Sep 2025 top(25448).

Amidst the broad-based selling, a few stocks managed to defy the trend. BEL, Hero MotoCorp, and Hindalco emerged as the top gainers within the Nifty pack. On the flip side, it was a particularly tough session for stocks like Trent, Powergrid, and Tata Motors, which ended as the major losers. Cash market turnover on the NSE was higher by 6% compared to yesterday.

Sectoral performance reflected the overall weak sentiment, with all indices ending in the red, with the sole exception of Nifty Metal. The sectors that faced the most significant selling pressure were Realty, IT, Auto, and Pharma.

The broader market indices continued profit booking for the fourth day in the row. The Nifty Midcap 100 Index fell by 0.64%, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index lost 0.57%. Market breadth remained weak for the fifth straight session, with declining shares sharply outnumbering advancing ones, as reflected in a BSE advance-decline ratio of 0.55.

Trend for Short term has turned bearish now as Nifty closed below its 20 and 50 DEMA.  The next immediate support for the Nifty is placed at 24,803, while on the upside, the zone of 25,000 to 25,050 is now likely to act as an immediate resistance.
