Market Structure
-
Last Close: 25,694.35
-
Trend is mixed: Short-term (5D) bearish, while medium-term (21D) and long-term (63D) bullish. This indicates a pullback/correction within a broader uptrend.
Momentum & Indicators
-
RSI 40.54: below 50 → momentum remains weak, but not oversold yet.
-
MACD -61.98 vs Signal -4.85 (Histogram -57.13): strong negative momentum; recovery attempts may face supply on rise.
-
ADX 15.69: low trend strength → likely range-bound / choppy trade rather than a clean trend day.
-
DMI: -DI (27.11) > +DI (19.37) → bears have an edge, but not a high-conviction trend (ADX low).
-
Bollinger Bands: price is sitting close to Lower Band 25,585.59 → this zone often acts as near-term support where a bounce attempt can emerge.
-
Parabolic SAR 26,187.63: overhead level; till Nifty stays below this, upside is capped.
-
Williams %R -75.44 / CCI -82.08: weak to mildly oversold zone → supports pullback-bounce probability, but only if supports hold.
Key Levels for 19 Jan 2026

Immediate Support: 25,613 (S1 Pivot)
-
Crucial Support Zone: 25,585–25,532 (BB lower band 25,585 + S2 25,532)

Expected Behaviour
-
With low ADX and price near the lower Bollinger band, base case is choppy range with a dip-and-bounce attempt.
-
Bullish trigger: sustain above 25,743, then move can extend towards 25,810–25,824.
-
Bearish trigger: decisive slip below 25,585–25,532 can open 25,321 quickly.
Practical Range to Watch
-
25,532 – 25,824 is the key near-term operating band for 19 Jan.

Nifty Technical Analysis: Latest Support, Resistance & Trading Strategy
Share market today live
A combination of RSI, MACD, and support-resistance levels work best for Nifty. RSI shows momentum, while MACD helps confirm trend reversals or continuation.
Support and resistance levels are derived from previous highs and lows, Fibonacci levels, and price-action zones. These help in setting entry and exit points.
During high volatility, Nifty can offer strong intraday moves but carries higher risk. Use tighter stop-losses and smaller positions to manage risk effectively.
An RSI between 40 and 60 often indicates a good zone to accumulate if other indicators support the trend. RSI above 70 could mean overbought, while below 30 is oversold
MACD helps identify trend strength. A bullish crossover (MACD line above signal line) suggests upward momentum, while a bearish crossover may indicate a possible decline.
Yes, many traders use pure technical analysis for Nifty. However, combining it with macroeconomic news, global market trends, and FII/DII activity gives better accuracy.
