Trade Setup June 26: Nifty eyes 25,700 after hitting 25,245; breaches key resistance
The Nifty 50 rallied 200 points on Wednesday to close at 25,245—its highest closing level so far in 2025—marking a decisive breakout above the crucial resistance of 25,200. The session began with a 106-point gap-up and sustained upward momentum throughout the day, ending at the day's high.
Broad-based buying lifted more than 40 Nifty stocks into the green. Titan, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Grasim were among the top gainers. Sectorally, Media, IT, Consumer Durables, and Auto led the charge, while only the Nifty Private Bank index ended in the red.
The bullish sentiment also extended to broader markets. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.44% and the Smallcap 100 advanced 1.49%, marking the fourth straight day of gains for both indices.
Despite foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remaining net sellers in the cash market, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued their buying spree, cushioning the rally.
Technical Viewpoints:
Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities said the breakout from the 24,500–25,200 range signals renewed bullish strength, projecting an upside potential towards 25,600–25,700. He pegged immediate support at 25,000.
LKP Securities' Rupak De echoed similar sentiment, citing strengthening market confidence, particularly after the recent Israel-Iran ceasefire. He identified resistance at 25,350 and projected a possible move to 25,750 if this level is breached. Key support lies in the 24,820–25,000 zone.
According to Om Mehra of SAMCO Securities, Nifty's close above its short-term resistance band at 25,200 confirms a bullish breakout, following multiple failed attempts in recent weeks.
Nandish Shah from HDFC Securities noted that the index has exited a six-week consolidation phase. While support now shifts to 25,000, a fresh resistance could emerge near 25,500.
Bank Nifty Outlook:
The Nifty Bank index inched up 0.28% to close at 56,621.15, trading within a narrow band but comfortably above its 9-day and 20-day EMAs. Mehra pointed out that near-term support lies at 56,200, with the immediate hurdle at 57,000, recommending a buy-on-dips approach.
With momentum building and technical indicators pointing north, traders will closely watch for a breakout above 25,350 on June 26 to confirm the next leg toward 25,700.

SBI picks five banks to manage its ₹25,000 crore QIP
State Bank of India has picked Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., Citigroup Capital Markets, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and ICICI Securities to manage its ₹ 25,000 crore qualified institutional placement, two people aware of the development said. 'More than a dozen banks made presentations and five of them have been picked to work alongside SBI Capital Markets, the investment banking arm of the SBI group,' one of the persons cited above said on the condition of anonymity. These banks have pitched to manage the fundraise for a fee of ₹ 1, the people said. The phenomenon was common in the 2000s, when investment banks took a hit on fees to get league table mentions on large fundraises and initial public offerings. Emailed queries to SBI, HSBC, Kotak, ICICI Securities, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup remained unanswered. The banks were invited to make presentations for SBI's proposed QIP this week, Mint reported first on 23 June. A qualified institutional placement is a quicker way for a listed company to raise capital by issuing shares or convertible securities to institutional buyers compared to rights issue or other equity issuance. On 3 May, SBI's board of directors approved a plan to raise equity capital up to ₹ 25,000 crore. The approval is valid for 12 months. After being muted for the first few months, the capital markets activity has picked up pace beginning May. According to reports, around 28 bulk and block deals were executed in May, compared with just 7 in April on BSE. In the broader market, 274 bulk and block deals happened in NSE 500, compared to 128 in April, data from Trendlyne shows. SBI's last qualified institutional placement was in FY18 when it raised ₹ 15,000 crore. Although reports indicated that banks were advising SBI on a ₹ 15,000-18,000 crore QIP in FY20, the lender did not eventually raise capital. The bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 14.25% as on 31 March, down 3 basis points (bps) from a year earlier but 122 bps higher than end-December. Although this was higher than the minimum regulatory requirement of 12.1%, India's largest bank lags peers in capital buffers. Private lender HDFC Bank reported a capital adequacy ratio of 19.6%, while state-owned peer Bank of Baroda had a capital buffer of 17.19%. India's largest lender's share in local deposits and loans stood at 22.6% and 19.72% as on 31 March, according to data from the Reserve Bank of India cited by SBI. The bank reported a 10% drop in profit to ₹ 18,643 crore for the three months through March on higher provisions. SBI's shares closed at ₹ 800 apiece, up 0.58% from the previous close on NSE, on Wednesday compared to a 0.8% rise in benchmark Nifty 50.

Last Updated: Sensex Today: The Indian stock market is trading higher on Wednesday, supported by easing geopolitical tensions Sensex Today: Indian equity markets extended their winning streak for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, buoyed by strong buying in media and technology stocks. Investor sentiment improved amid easing crude oil prices and the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The BSE Sensex climbed 700.4 points, or 0.85 per cent, to close at 82,755.51, while the Nifty50 advanced 200.40 points, or 0.8 per cent, to end the day at 25,244.75.
