Nifty 50 decreased by 58 points or 0.23 per cent, ending at 25,227.35, with 30 of its members closing lower, 19 experiencing gains, and one remaining unchanged. Trade Setup for Tuesday Nilesh Jain, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research Analyst (Equity Research) at Centrum Broking, mentioned that the Nifty 50 index experienced some profit-taking at elevated levels due to unfavorable global indicators. Nevertheless, it successfully held its ground and closed above the immediate support level of 25,200. The overall sentiment remains positive as long as the index stays above 25,050, with a gradual increase towards 25,400 anticipated in the near future. In terms of derivatives, there was notable fresh Call writing at the 25,300 strike price, which now has the highest open interest (OI) on the Call side. A significant break above 25,300 could lead to short covering, potentially opening the door for further gains. Additionally, the support level has moved up to the 25,200 strike, reflecting robust support at that point. In summary, the overall data setup appears favourable, and a sustained movement above 25,300 will confirm an ensuing rally in the index. Global Markets,US-China trade tensions, Q2 results According to Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, the domestic markets began the week with caution due to the ongoing US government shutdown and increasing trade tensions between the US and China, which created a risk-averse atmosphere across Asia. Profit-taking in the consumption and discretionary sectors after recent rallies suggested a strategic adjustment in investor behavior. The mixed results from Q2 earnings further impacted sentiment, with IT stocks lagging behind, while financial stocks saw selective buying following regulatory relaxations. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks continued to show a positive trend. Despite a slight recovery in the INR and a decrease in inflation expectations providing some support against losses, overall sentiment remained careful, keeping the markets slightly negative.
