Where is Nifty headed this week?
On weekly chart, Nifty has formed a bearish candle with a long upper shadow, indicating selling pressure near 25,000 level. The index is currently trading below 50-day moving average, reflecting a bearish bias. It continues to face resistance at the upper band of the falling channel, near 25,000. A decisive breakout above this level could shift the bias to bullish, while a drop below 24,500 may lead to further profit booking. A sustained move above 24,800 could trigger buying interest, potentially taking the index to 25,000–25,300 range. On the downside, a break below 24,500 may drag the index toward 24,350–24,000. Expect Nifty to trade within a broad range of 25,300–24,000 this week, with a negative bias. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below its reference line and is trending downward, reinforcing the bearish momentum.
Trading Strategy:
For traders with a moderately bearish view for week ending Aug 7, a Put Spread strategy could offer controlled exposure to the downside. Buy one lot of Nifty 24,600 strike Put (premium: Rs 155–165) and sell one lot of 24,300 strike Put (premium: Rs 60–65). The breakeven point is 24,495, with profits below this level. The maximum loss is Rs 7,875, and the maximum potential reward is Rs 14,625.
Live Events
Sectors to watch:
Healthcare, cement, and FMCG may continue to show strength. Bullish On: Asian Paints, Hindustan Unilever, Fortis Healthcare, TVS Motor, Ambuja Cements, and JSL. Bearish On: Adani Enterprises, Tata Motors, and Indigo.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
Nifty has posted a fiveweek losing streak after facing resistance at a bearish gap and now fallen below the 10-week EMA, which had acted as intermediate support since April 2025. A decisive break below 24,500 — aligning with a key demand zone and the 20-week EMA — could accelerate profit booking and take the index toward 24,000– 23,800. Resistance lies at 25,400–25,600.
Trading Strategy:
The broader market remains under pressure. It is prudent to focus on sectors and stocks showing stronger relative strength with bullish structures. FMCG has shown resilience, rebounding from a longterm support zone. HUL, Colgate-Palmolive, and Dabur appear attractive for accumulation. In the two-wheeler space, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto have held firm at support levels. Sectors like pharma, defence, and oil & gas have breached key support levels and warrant caution.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
Nifty extended its losing streak into the fifth week, driven by persistent selling, global headwinds, and cautious sentiment. The index's close below the 24,600 mark confirms a
bearish outlook
, unless a strong rebound emerges. Immediate support is at 24,450; a breach may extend the decline toward 24,180 — a level that coincides with the long-term 200-day exponential moving average (DEMA). On recovery, resistance is at 24,800, followed by a significant hurdle around 25,000–25,250.
What should investors do?
Defensive positioning is prudent in the short term, while selective accumulation on dips in fundamentally strong stocks may offer longterm opportunities.
Bullish Bias:
Britannia, Dixon Technologies, Fortis, Godrej Consumer, Hero MotoCorp, Jio Financial, Jindal Stainless, Kaynes Tech and TVS Motor.
Bearish Bias:
ABB, Astral, Bandhan Bank, Bharat Forge, Coal India, IndusInd Bank, ONGC, Sona BLW, Tata Motors, Tata Tech and Wipro.

India reports 65% jump in Grade A green-certified office buildings
India has reported a 65% jump in overall Grade A green- certified office stock across the top 7 cities since 2019 as developers are increasingly constructing LEED, IGBC or GRIHA certified stock to stay in sync with the demand. According to Anarock data, about 530 million sq ft of Grade A office stock in the top 7 cities out of the total Grade A office stock of 865 million sq ft is green certified as of H1 2025 across cities.

'The push towards sustainability comes partly from the Government's own initiatives and commitments, and partly from the demand for such solutions. There is increasing awareness about the need for sustainability across all real estate segments,' said Anuj Puri, Chairman - Anarock Group . Live Events As per Anarock data, the top 7 cities saw approx. 26.8 million of office space leased in H1 2025, of which over 74% was in green- certified office buildings. City-wise, Bengaluru led decisively - of the net 6.6 million sq ft Grade A office stock leased in the city in the first half this year, certified green buildings accounted for a massive 80%. 'However, the demand for sustainable office buildings outstrips that for green housing. A vast number of occupiers, especially MNCs and GCCs, now insist on sustainability features only available in green-certified Grade A office buildings." In contrast, there has still not been such an imperative-driven shift in the Indian housing segment, and this is visible in the relative scarcity of green residential stock in the country,' Puri said. Despite their commanding premium rentals vis-à-vis regular Grade A office stock, green-certified office spaces have seen leasing increase significantly over the last six years. 'Sustainability is no longer just about meeting regulations. In commercial real estate, it is quickly becoming a genuine advantage. A 24% rental premium and lower vacancy rates show that companies are willing to invest more in spaces that reflect their ESG values and support their people. What is also clear now is that corporates see the carbon performance of office interiors as just as important as green building certifications. Sustainability in fit-outs is becoming a strategic priority for both global and Indian occupiers,' said Vibhor Jain, Founder & CEO, Carbon Guardians , a firm specializing in Design & Build and managed offices. The average monthly rentals of green-certified office spaces in the top 7 cities are up to 24% higher than in regular, non-certified Grade A office stock. 'The surging popularity of green office buildings across India is not merely a passing trend, but a strategic imperative in line with the nation's bold climate ambitions. India has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, and to expand its non-fossil energy capacity to 500GW by 2030. Green office buildings are a major link in this equation. As India grapples with escalating urban pollution and environmental pressures, both developers and businesses must take responsibility for championing sustainable choices in the built environment,' Puri said.
