Nifty Technical Views From Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
We will need an hour’s close above 25280 to get back on to the 25365-800 trajectory. Else expect similar pattern as yesterday, with systematic slippage taking Nifty closer to our downside marker of 25200. While we will nurture upside hopes as long as above 25200, a direct fall below 25070 could usher in downsides aiming for 24440 as the first downside objective, with 24800 offering to slow down proceedings. Momentum is missing though.

Morning Market Outlook By Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
There are two distinct trends in the market now which can be observed In the secondary and primary markets. In the secondary market, recently, there is a positive trend with high quality stocks being accumulated and moving up. Bajaj Finance, ITC, Bajaj Auto and Maruti are examples of this healthy trend. At the same time there is froth in segments of mid and small caps where valuations are hard to justify.
The other trend is the totally irrational moves in the SME IPO market where many SMEs of doubtful credentials are getting their IPOs oversubscribed many times and the stocks on listing are manipulated and driven to upper circuits for days. Due diligence is conspicuous by its absence. Many retail investors, driven by greed, are rushing into this gambling game. This will end in tears for the newbies who have no understanding of market fundamentals.
The record breaking winning streak of the Nifty is likely to end soon and the market needs to correct. But there are no signals of a major breakdown or triggers for a breakout.

Company Update: Saregama India | Wynk shut down: Near-term pain, long-term gain
Swapnil Potdukhe of JM Financial Institutional Securities said, Bharti Airtel’s decision to shut down Wynk Music (Wynk), India’s third-largest music OTT platform in terms of active users, could accelerate the movement of Spotify (market leader) and JioSaavn (second largest) to a paid-subscription business model. Currently, the three market leaders are the only pure-play music OTT platforms offering free streaming services, as the rest of the players have already moved to a completely paywall-driven business model. While these developments could have an adverse impact on music labels like Saregama in the near term due to loss of minimum guarantee revenue, from a medium- to long-term perspective they could immensely benefit from a sharp improvement in monetisation of end-consumers. This is because music labels on average earn significantly higher yields per stream from paid music streaming consumers compared to free streaming consumers. To better factor in the development we lower our near-term music licensing revenue estimates for Saregama by ~1.5% and marginally raise revenue estimates over the medium to long term. We maintain ‘BUY’ with a revised DCF-driven TP of INR 580 (implied Sep’26 PER of 40x).

Nifty Bank Prediction
The outlook for the Nifty Bank index remains sideways to bullish. The index is currently trading in a range of 51,000 to 51,500, where aggressive put and call writers have established significant positions, creating a tug of war between buyers and sellers. Additionally, the 1-hour chart shows the index trading above the 50-period EMA, reinforcing a shorter-term positive outlook. Immediate support is at 51,200, while immediate resistance is at 51,500. A break of either level will likely determine the index's further momentum. A "Buy on Dips" strategy remains valid, with 51,500 being the crucial level to watch. Sustained trading above this level could trigger further upside momentum; otherwise, the index may continue to trade within the 51,000 to 51,500 range, commented Dhupesh Dhameja, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities.

Bank Nifty Outlook Today
Although Bank Nifty breached the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 51,500, it struggled to hold this key level. The index is inching higher, although I with waning momentum, making the support at 50,940 crucial to watch. Bank Nifty is currently positioned above the 40 DMA but remains below the 50 DMA, signaling a cautious outlook. If Bank Nifty breaks above the 51,620 level, the upward momentum might remain intact. Conversely, a decline below 51,250 might signal a weakening of the short-term trend, leading to potential downside risks, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities predicted.

Options Market Insights
Dhupesh Dhameja, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities said, “The options market has shown signs of a bearish bias, with a higher volume of calls being written compared to puts. This shift in sentiment marks the end of a one-week bullish streak where puts were more heavily written. Significant open interest at the 25,000 Put (61.28 lakh contracts) and the 25,300 Call (66.42 lakh contracts) reflects a cautious stance, as call writers adjust to lower levels, creating strong resistance. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has decreased from 1.27 on Friday to 0.96, underscoring the dominance of call writers. The PCR, which had been on an upward streak, has now sustained above 1 throughout the week, signaling a cautionary trend. The Max Pain Point at 25,200 marks a critical level that could influence near-term index movements.”
