Nifty 50 – Technical Analysis (Based on EOD 18 December 2025)

Nifty ended the session marginally lower at 25,815.55, continuing its phase of consolidation after the recent corrective move. The short-term trend remains bearish, while the medium- and long-term trends are still bullish, indicating that the index is undergoing a healthy pullback within a broader uptrend rather than a structural breakdown.

From a moving average perspective, Nifty is trading below the 20-day and 34-day averages, but is holding just above the 50-day SMA near 25,818, which is acting as an immediate support. The index remains comfortably above the 89-day and 200-day averages, keeping the primary trend positive. Bollinger Bands suggest price hovering near the lower band (25,715), pointing towards short-term oversold conditions and the possibility of a technical bounce.

Momentum indicators reflect short-term weakness. RSI at 46.37 indicates loss of momentum but is still above the oversold zone. MACD remains below the signal line with a widening negative histogram, highlighting ongoing corrective pressure. ADX at 12.72 signals a lack of strong trend, supporting the view of range-bound and choppy trade in the near term.

Oscillators are showing early signs of exhaustion in selling. StochRSI at extremely low levels and Williams %R near -80 suggest oversold conditions, increasing the probability of a pullback rally if support levels hold.

On the levels front, immediate support is placed at 25,727–25,715, followed by a stronger support near 25,640–25,620. A decisive break below 25,600 could accelerate selling towards 25,450–25,300. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at 25,900–25,990, while a sustained move above 26,100 is required to revive bullish momentum and target 26,300+ levels.

Technical View:
🔹 Short-term: Bearish / Range-bound
🔹 Medium-term: Bullish
🔹 Strategy: Buy-on-dips near supports with strict risk management; avoid aggressive longs near resistance
