Nifty support levels at 24,900 seen crucial: Analysts

Nifty support levels at 24,900 seen crucial: Analysts

Time of India4 days ago
After slipping below the psychological 25,000-mark last week, the Nifty is now trading near a crucial support zone around 24,900–24,930. Analysts note that this area holds key technical significance, with multiple indicators converging near this range. A decisive close below 24,900 could trigger a deeper correction, dragging the index toward 24,500 or even lower, while a rebound could face stiff resistance near 25,200–25,300.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
A negative candle was formed on the daily chart on Friday, indicating an attempt to break down below immediate support. On the weekly chart, Nifty formed a third consecutive bearish candle. The previous decisive upside breakout from last month's larger range has been negated as Nifty slipped below the crucial 25,000 mark. There is a probability of Nifty sliding down to the next important support at 24,500 in the coming week. Any pullback rally could encounter strong hurdles around 25,200.
Trading strategies for the week:
With markets in a downtrend, fresh short positions are advised in the index and select stocks. Any pullback rally towards 25,200 could present a sell-on-rise opportunity. Partial profit-booking may be considered around the downside target of 24,500 in the next 1–2 weeks. However, any sharp bounce above 25,250 could be a red flag for shorts and an opportunity to square off. Shorts can be created in Bank Nifty, infrastructure, public sector enterprises, energy, and IT sectors. Some stocks with a negative bias include Axis Bank, Federal Bank, CG Power and Industrial Solutions, Samvardhana Motherson International, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Infosys, LTIMindtree, Coforge, and Power Finance Corporation.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
Last week, the Nifty slipped below its crucial 5-week EMA support of 25,130 for the first time in nearly four months, making this a key resistance level going forward. The weekly ADX remains flat at 21, and RSI holds steady at 56, reflecting indecision. Notably, the last three weeks' price action is contained within the weekly candle ended June 27, forming a potential 'rising three' continuation pattern, with confirmation above 25,255. On the daily chart, Nifty is trending near a vital support zone: the 50-DEMA at 24,930, Fibonacci supports at 24,920 (61.8%) and 24,800 (78.6%), and 5-month EMA at 24,680. These suggest likely rebound if Nifty sustains above 24,930 on closing basis. A sustained breach below this may lead to deeper retracement toward 20-week EMA near 24,540.
Trading strategies for the week:
Retaining buy-on-dips strategy is ideal, with aggressive longs to be considered above 25,550, a key breakout level. If correction deepens, it should be viewed as an opportunity for staggered accumulation at key support levels. Top picks are SBI, Bajaj Fin, Hero MotoCorp, Torrent Pharma, Coal India, NMDC, Tata Steel, UltraTech, Dalmia Bharat, Alkem Labs, Tata Power, Varun Beverages, Tata Consumer.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
Nifty ended the week on a weak note after breaching the psychological 25,000 mark and closing near a crucial rising trendline support. While this signals shortterm weakness, a decisive move below 24,900 would confirm an extended correction. Without such a move, a quick pullback above 25,000 could occur, but this may only be a temporary bounce. The broader structure remains tricky, and unless the 25,800 resistance—a key supply zone—is taken out, the market is unlikely to resume a sustained uptrend.
Trading strategies for the week:
Given the uncertain backdrop, traders should remain cautious and avoid aggressive positions. Sustainable long trades should only be considered above 25,800, which would signal strength returning to the broader trend. In Bank Nifty, weakness continues as long as it stays below 57,000, with breakdown possibilities below 56,000 that could drag it toward 54,500–54,000. Meaningful allocations should wait until the market breaks out of this indecisive range with conviction.

‘Confident India will get special treatment…': Piyush Goyal says trade deal talks with US making ‘fantastic' progress; ‘important to…'

India has hardened its stance on opening its agriculture and dairy sector - a consistent stand in all its trade deals so far. (AI image) India-US trade deal negotiations are making 'fantastic' progress according to Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal . His statement comes days ahead of US President Donald Trump 's reciprocal tariff deadline of August 1. Both India and the US are looking to seal a mini or interim trade deal ahead of that. Goyal has also expressed optimism about getting preferential treatment for India from the Trump administration, according to a Reuters report. In the last few days Trump has announced several trade deals with countries like Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines. Earlier this month the US President sent out tariff letters to over 20 countries informing them of tariff rates effective August 1. Since then some of these countries have struck a trade deal with America. Notably, India has not received any letter so far. India Eyes 'Special Treatment' From US During his United Kingdom visit for the signing of the India-UK trade deal, Goyal downplayed the significance of deadlines in trade negotiations whilst expressing optimism about the discussions with the United States. "We're making fantastic progress with the United States, and I do hope we'll be able to conclude a very consequential partnership," Goyal said when asked about the trade deal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo Also Read | India-US trade deal: India wants Donald Trump administration to offer tariff rate lower than Indonesia; eyes competitive advantage India has hardened its stance on opening its agriculture and dairy sector - a consistent stand in all its trade deals so far. The US is pushing for access into these two sectors. When questioned about potential disagreements with Washington regarding agriculture, Goyal responded that "negotiations happen in the negotiation room", whilst indicating that India would consider accepting smaller sectoral achievements rather than insisting on a comprehensive agreement. Importantly, Goyal said that India is looking for preferential market access into the US compared to its competitors. "All options are on the table, and we will see how it plays out, but what is important is to get preferential market access over our competitors, our peers," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.

"And I'm very confident that India, having been the first country to start negotiating, will be given a special and preferred treatment,' he added. Earlier this week Reuters reported government sources as saying that an interim trade deal with the US ahead of the August 1 deadline for 26% reciprocal tariffs looks unlikely. Goyal expressed his view that negotiations have never been successful when constrained by timelines or predetermined restrictions. He emphasised his desire for an agreement that benefits all parties involved. "One has to have a broad mind and a package which is balanced and can give equity to both sides." What Trump Has Said In the last few weeks, the US President has repeatedly indicated that a trade deal with India is 'near'. Indian officials were in the US last week for the fifth round of talks for the bilateral trade agreement. According to a PTI report, US officials are likely to visit India in the second half of August for another round of trade talks. While both countries are targeting the first phase of the trade deal by fall, expectations have been there for an interim agreement being announced. While announcing a trade deal with Indonesia, Trump had indicated that the trade deal with India is being worked on similar lines in terms of market access. He has time and again asked major world economies to open their markets for US products, indicating flexibility in bringing down tariff rates.

His comments came after sealing a trade deal with Japan with 15% reciprocal tariffs on the latter. Prior to the August 1 deadline, the US President has specified a minimum tariff rate of 15%, indicating an upward shift in the baseline from 10%. "We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%," Trump said Wednesday at an AI summit in Washington according to a Bloomberg report. "A couple of — we have 50 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well." Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
