The Nifty once again struggled to sustain above the key resistance zone of 26,050–26,100, forming a mild double-top pattern on the hourly chart—a sign of hesitation at higher levels. The price action reflects repeated rejection at higher levels, with immediate support placed at 25,900 and a stronger base near 25,800 — the previous higher low that also coincides with the earlier breakout zone around 25,666. A sustained move above 25,900 could trigger a short-term rebound toward 26,050–26,100. While the broader structure remains constructive within its rising trend, near-term sentiment has turned cautious amid visible call writing at higher strikes, suggesting limited upside in the immediate term.

As expected, the US Fed cut interest rates by 25 bps. However, the market consolidated after Powell indicated that this might be the last rate cut of 2025, tempering hopes of further monetary easing. The resulting strength in the U.S. dollar contributed to a risk-off sentiment across emerging markets, including India. Domestically, mixed Q2 earnings and the F&O expiry led to market volatility. Meanwhile, investors remain watchful of the Trump–Xi trade negotiations, as the prevailing uncertainty around the discussions continues to keep market sentiment cautious.
