(Based on EOD 16 Jan 2026)

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)

  • If breakdown happens: 25,321 (S3) then 25,110 (S4)

  • Immediate Resistance: 25,743 (Pivot Point)

  • Next Resistance Band: 25,810–25,824 (Camarilla R4 25,810 + Pivot R1 25,824)

  • Higher Resistance: 25,955 (R2) then 26,166 (R3)

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.
