ET CONTRIBUTORS | July 13, 2025 5:21 PM CST

Synopsis

Indian markets fell 1.2% amid global jitters and profit booking. July 10 marked a trend reversal as forecasted, with key support and resistance levels holding accurately. The upcoming July 15 is flagged as a High Alert Day. Traders are advised to follow time zones and price pivots closely.

After a volatile week dominated by global jitters and profit booking, Indian equity markets ended lower, with the Nifty50 slipping 1.2% for the week ended July 11, 2025.

The selloff came amid renewed tariff threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, which spooked global investors and added pressure on risk assets.

Global headwinds, local profit booking

The market, which had previously rallied to higher levels, witnessed a bout of selling as investors opted to lock in gains. Sectorally, the brunt of the fall was borne by IT, auto, and metal stocks, which emerged as the top laggards for the week.

A textbook trend reversal: July 10 lived up to the forecast

In our last note, we identified July 10 as a High Alert Day—a potential inflection point where a trend reversal could unfold.

As anticipated, the market exhibited strong momentum on that day, but a subsequent breakdown below July 10’s low on Friday triggered a sharp decline. This confirmed July 10 as a textbook trend-shifting session, reinforcing our forecast methodology.

Precision in price: Support & resistance levels held firm

Our key levels provided clear guidance throughout the week:

Weekly High: 25,548.70 (vs. resistance at 25,586 — only 37 points off)

Weekly Low: 25,129 (vs. support at 25,120 — just 9 points difference)

Friday Intraday High: 25,322 (vs. projected level at 25,320)

Key Magnet Level: 25,434 — acted as crucial support on July 7, 8, and 9

These precise levels helped intraday and positional traders navigate the market with greater confidence.
