Summary of Last Session (Tuesday, December 9, 2025)

The markets continued their correction for the second consecutive session, driven by nervousness ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting

Closing Value: NIFTY 50 closed at 25,839.65, down by 120.90 points (-0.47%)
The Price Action:
- Volatile Dip: The index opened gap-down and experienced sharp selling in the first half, hitting an intraday low of 25,728
- Smart Recovery: Crucially, the index defended the 50-Day EMA support (near 25,730) and recovered over 100 points from the lows, though it still finished in the red
Sectoral Split:
- Drags: IT stocks (-1.2%) were the biggest losers due to potential US tariff fears and the looming Fed decision. Auto and Metals also remained weak
- Gainers: PSU Banks (+1.3%), Consumer Durables, and Realty bucked the trend. Midcaps and Smallcaps outperformed the benchmark, closing in the green
Institutional Data:
- FIIs: Net Sellers of ~₹3760 Cr (Selling intensity picked up against previous 2 sessions)
- DIIs: Net Buyers of ~₹6224 Cr (Continued to absorb supply)

Outlook for Today: Wednesday, December 10, 2025

The outlook for today is Cautious / Range-Bound with a likely Flat to Muted Opening. The market is expected to remain in a "Wait and Watch" mode until the US Fed outcome late tonight

1. Implied Opening: Flat to Marginally Negative

GIFT Nifty Cue: As of this morning (7:30 AM IST), GIFT Nifty is trading around 25,900 – 25,910
Implied Start: Considering the fair value premium for December futures, this implies the NIFTY 50 Spot will likely open near 25,840 – 25,860 (virtually flat)

2. Latest Factors Impacting the Opening

A. Global Cues (Mixed/Cautious)

US Markets: Wall Street closed mixed overnight. The Nasdaq managed a small gain (+0.1%), but the Dow Jones fell (-0.4%). Traders are hesitant to take big positions before the Fed announcement
Fed Meeting: The US Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision late tonight (12:30 AM IST Thursday). While a 25 bps rate cut is widely expected, the commentary on future cuts will determine the trend for Thursday

B. Domestic Factors

Support at 25,700: Yesterday’s recovery from 25,728 confirmed that 25,700 is a strong demand zone. As long as this holds, the short-term structure is "Range-Bound" rather than bearish
Rupee Weakness: The Rupee has weakened to ~90.15 against the Dollar, which is negative for FII flows but theoretically supports IT stocks (though sentiment there is currently weak)

3. Technical Levels to Watch

Level	Significance	Strategy
26,000	Resistance	The psychological hurdle. Fresh buying only above this
25,840	Pivot	Yesterday's close. Opening zone
25,730	Strong Support	Yesterday's Low & 50-EMA. Best zone to Buy on Dips

Trading Strategy for Today:

Defensive Stance: Expect low volumes and choppy movement during the day
Buy near Support: If Nifty dips towards 25,750, look for a bounce play with a small stop loss below 25,700
Avoid Aggressive Shorts: Since the event (Fed) is tonight, shorting at support (25,730) is risky as a "Dovish Fed" could trigger a massive gap-up tomorrow
