The Nifty closed at 25,790.25, posting a modest gain of 0.42%, indicating a stabilisation after recent volatility. Despite short-term corrective pressure over the past week (-1.75%), the broader structure remains constructive, with short-, medium- and long-term trends all classified as bullish, suggesting the ongoing weakness is corrective rather than trend-changing.
From a moving average perspective, the index is currently trading below the 20-day and 50-day averages, indicating near-term resistance, but remains above the 89-day SMA (25,646) and comfortably above the 200-day SMA (25,064). This zone around 25,650–25,700 continues to act as a critical support base, protecting the medium-term uptrend.
Momentum indicators show signs of fatigue but also hint at a potential stabilisation. RSI at 42.84 remains below the neutral mark but has not entered extreme oversold territory. Stochastics and StochRSI are near oversold zones, while CCI at -174 reflects strong recent selling pressure. However, ADX at 14.23 indicates a weak trend, suggesting that downside momentum is losing strength rather than accelerating.
On the volatility front, Nifty is trading close to the lower Bollinger Band (25,678), often a region where short-term pullbacks attempt to stabilise. Immediate support is placed at 25,700–25,650, followed by 25,550. A breakdown below 25,550 could open the door towards 25,350. On the upside, resistance is seen at 25,900, then 26,030, and a stronger hurdle near 26,100, where multiple averages and pivot levels converge.
Technical View:
The broader trend remains positive, but the index is currently in a consolidation-to-corrective phase. A sustained move above 26,000–26,100 is required to revive bullish momentum, while holding above 25,650 will be crucial to avoid deeper correction.

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.
