Nifty Technical View for Monday, 29 December

đź•— Last Update: 29 December 2025, 7.00 AM

Nifty ended the previous session at 26,042.30, slipping 0.38% amid thin year-end volumes and short-term profit booking. While the short-term trend has turned mildly bearish, the medium- and long-term structure remains positive, indicating consolidation rather than trend reversal.

Trend & Moving Averages:
The index continues to trade above all key SMAs and EMAs, with the 20-DMA placed near 26,007 and the 50-DMA around 25,910, reinforcing underlying strength. The short-term weakness appears corrective in nature within a broader uptrend.

Momentum & Oscillators:
RSI at 52.97 suggests neutral momentum with no overbought stress. MACD remains above the signal line, reflecting positive medium-term momentum, though the negative momentum reading highlights short-term cooling. ADX at 11.6 confirms a non-trending, range-bound market, supported by nearly balanced DMI readings.

Volatility & Price Bands:
Nifty is trading near the middle Bollinger Band (26,007), with the lower band at 25,732 acting as a strong volatility support. Parabolic SAR at 25,755 continues to provide a downside cushion.

Key Levels for 29 December:

  • Immediate Resistance: 26,120 – 26,200

  • Major Resistance: 26,280 – 26,325 (52-week high zone)

  • Immediate Support: 25,985 – 25,930

  • Strong Support: 25,800 – 25,750

Outlook:
As long as Nifty holds above 25,900, the broader bias remains constructive with consolidation. A decisive move above 26,200 could revive upside momentum toward the 52-week high, while a dip toward 25,800 may attract positional buying interest.
