Summary of Last Session (Wednesday, December 3, 2025)

The market witnessed a volatile and bearish session, breaking the critical 26,000 psychological support.

• Closing Value: NIFTY 50 closed at 25,986.00, down by 46.20 points (-0.18%)
• The Breakdown: After a flat-to-negative start, the index faced continued selling pressure, slipping to an intraday low of 25,891. This marked the fourth consecutive session of losses, confirming the "Sell on Rise" texture
• Key Drags:
  • PSU Banks were the biggest losers (Nifty PSU Bank down ~3%), weighed down by news that the government is not considering raising the FDI limit in public sector banks
  • Rupee Weakness: The Indian Rupee hit a fresh record low against the US Dollar (breaching 90/$), dampening sentiment
• Institutional Data:
  • FIIs: Net Sellers of ~₹3,642 Cr (Continued selling pressure)
  • DIIs: Net Buyers of ~₹4,646 Cr (Supporting the market at lower levels)

Outlook for Today: Thursday, December 4, 2025

The outlook for Thursday is Mildly Positive / Consolidation with a likely Flat to Slightly Green Opening.

1. Implied Opening: Flat to Marginally Positive

• GIFT NIFTY Cue: The GIFT Nifty is trading around 26,090 (as of 12;15 am)
• Implied Start: This implies a mild positive start of ~40-60 points, suggesting the NIFTY 50 could open near 26,030 – 26,050, attempting to reclaim the 26,000 mark

2. Global Tailwinds (Positive)

• US Markets (Dec 3 Close): Wall Street bounced back overnight
  • Nasdaq: Up 0.59% (Tech stocks recovered)
  • Dow Jones: Up 0.39%
  • S&P 500: Up 0.25%
• Asian Markets (Dec 4 Morning): Trading mostly green.
  • Nikkei 225 (Japan): Up significantly (~0.8% to 1.6%), supported by tech gains
  • Kospi (Korea): Up ~1%

3. Domestic Factors & Triggers

• RBI MPC Meeting (Day 2): The central bank's policy meeting is ongoing, with the outcome due tomorrow (Friday, Dec 5). Markets typically remain range-bound and cautious ahead of the Governor's statement
• Technical Rebound: The index is currently in oversold territory near the 25,900 support. A technical bounce back to 26,100 is possible, but higher levels will likely attract selling again

4. Technical Levels to Watch

Level	Significance	Strategy
26,150	Resistance	The immediate hurdle. "Sell on Rise" likely active here
26,050	Pivot	If Nifty sustains above this, short-covering could push it to 26,150
25,900	Strong Support	Wednesday's low. This is the critical defense line for bulls

Trading Strategy:

• Buy on Dip: If Nifty dips near 25,950 at the open, it offers a low-risk buying opportunity for a bounce to 26,050
• Watch IT Stocks: With the Nasdaq closing green and Rupee weak (positive for IT exporters), expect TCS, Infosys, and HCL Tech to lead the recovery today
