Stock Market Outlook: Sensex, Nifty May Trade on Positive Note; Support Seen at 25K, Resistance at 25,450

Indian equity markets are expected to continue trading with a positive bias on Monday, October 13, 2025, amid supportive global cues, renewed FPI interest, and easing geopolitical tensions. Despite a minor dip in net mutual fund inflows in September, the underlying sentiment remains optimistic as the Q2FY26 earnings season picks up pace.

Stock Market Prediction Today For 13 October 2025

On Friday, benchmark indices extended gains for the second consecutive session. The Nifty50 closed at 25,285, up 103 points, while the Sensex ended at 82,500, gaining 328 points. This marked the highest Nifty close since September 19, fueled by broad-based sectoral buying.

"The market maintained a positive bias through the session, enabling the Nifty to reclaim the 25,300 level," noted Bajaj Broking, highlighting that all sectors except metals ended in the green. Real estate, healthcare, PSU banks, and pharma stocks led the rally with gains of over 1.5%.

Nifty Prediction Today: More Upside Ahead As Technical Chart

According to Bajaj Broking, Nifty has formed a bullish candle on the weekly chart, indicating continuation of the uptrend. "The index in the process closed above the short-term moving average and has retraced more than 80% of its previous decline," the brokerage said.

Looking ahead, Nifty may move toward the 25,450 level, which coincides with both a trendline resistance and the September 2025 high. A break above this could open the door to 25,670, the high of June 2025. On the downside, the support base has now shifted higher to 25,000-24,900, providing a cushion for any short-term volatility.

"We believe dips in the coming week should be used as a buying opportunity," the firm added.

Bank Nifty Outlook For 13 October 2025: On Track for Record High

The Bank Nifty is also showing strength, forming a sizable bullish candle last week and resuming upward momentum. Experts see potential for the index to test its all-time high zone of 57,300-57,600. Key support remains at 55,500-55,000, supported by 20- and 50-day EMAs.

"Our bias remains positive and dips should be used as a buying opportunity," said Bajaj Broking in its weekly outlook.

Market Drivers for Monday Trading Session

According to Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, the ongoing ceasefire developments between Israel and Hamas and signs of progress in the India-US trade dialogue as global tailwinds. Domestically, FPIs added around Rs 2,830 crore over the last three sessions, helping reverse recent outflows.

However, Indian mutual funds registered a net outflow of Rs 43,146 crore in September - their first negative monthly flow since April 2025. Still, equity mutual funds saw inflows of Rs 30,422 crore, albeit down 9% month-over-month.

Looking ahead to Monday, all eyes will be on the September retail inflation print, which could influence interest rate expectations and equity flows. In parallel, Q2 results from HCL Technologies and Anand Rathi Wealth will be closely watched for signs of margin stress or surprise earnings. Avenue Supermart, reporting over the weekend, may also set the tone for investor appetite in the consumer space.

"Overall, we expect Indian equities to trade in a range with a positive bias, aided by supportive global cues and sustained buying interest in the market," said Khemka.
