After a subdued opening, Nifty 50 remained under mild pressure throughout the session and consolidated within the 26,050–26,000 zone. The index lacked follow-through buying and closed near the lower end of the day’s range, reflecting short-term caution among traders. 

Immediate resistance is now placed at 26,130–26,200, while the major hurdle continues to remain at 26,300, where heavy Call writing is concentrated. A decisive breakout above 26,300 could trigger a broader range expansion and open the path toward 26,500. On the downside, a sustained close below 26,000 may invite deeper profit-booking toward 25,900–25,800. However, strong Put writing at the 26,000 strike continues to act as a near-term cushion for the index.

Indian markets stayed under selling pressure through the session, with cautious traders booking profits as the rupee’s persistent weakness — touching a record low against the US dollar on Tuesday — weighed on sentiment. The currency slide dampened risk appetite and kept investors on the defensive, prompting a more guarded approach across sectors. 

 

From a broader standpoint, Indian markets remain structurally bullish, underpinned by strong GDP momentum and steady DII inflows that continue to comfortably absorb intermittent FII selling. The medium- to long-term outlook stays positive, with the overall setup favoring a buy-on-dips approach in quality large-cap names. Investors should also keep a close watch on the upcoming December RBI policy, where a widely anticipated 25 bps rate cut could provide an additional boost to market sentiment.
