Trade Setup for June 5: Nifty Bulls Look to Break Out of Narrow Trading Band
The Nifty ended 78 points higher on June 4, 2025, closing at 24,620 and marking the day's high—an encouraging sign for bulls looking to break out of the index's tightest trading range in the last 17 sessions. Despite slipping below its 20-day EMA for the second consecutive day, the Nifty managed to stay above the key swing low of 24,462 from May 22.
The session saw a late surge in buying momentum, pulling the index higher. While most of the day remained range-bound, positive cues across sectors helped support the gains. Notably, all sectoral indices ended in the green except for Realty, with Oil & Gas, Metals, and IT stocks leading the rally.
Among top Nifty performers were Eternal, Jio Financial, and IndusInd Bank, while Bajaj Finserv, Trent, and Eicher Motors weighed on the index.
The broader markets outperformed, with the Nifty Midcap 100 gaining 0.71% and the Smallcap 100 up 0.79%.
Quick-service restaurant (QSR) stocks were also in focus—Swiggy surged 9% and Eternal climbed over 3%—amid reports that Zepto may defer its IPO to 2026. Zepto later clarified it still plans to file its DRHP in 2025.
HDFC Bank gained 1% following SEBI's approval of a ₹12,500 crore IPO for its subsidiary HDB Financial Services.
On the institutional front, FIIs ended May with net inflows of ₹11,773 crore—their highest monthly buying since September 2024. However, selling resumed over the last two days, totaling more than ₹5,000 crore. Meanwhile, domestic institutions stepped in, driving large block trades worth ₹3,480 crore.
Market analysts expect consolidation to continue. Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal highlighted that global trends and macro indicators will drive sentiment, with stock-specific movement prevailing.
HDFC Securities' Nagaraj Shetti noted that while the trend remains choppy, a move above 24,850 could revive bullish momentum. On the downside, 24,500 remains key support.
Rupak De of LKP Securities pointed out a bearish RSI crossover, signaling caution. 'We could see sideways movement until Friday's announcements. A break below 24,500 may trigger further weakness, while resistance lies at 24,750–24,900.'
Nandish Shah, also of HDFC Securities, echoed the same, suggesting 24,845 as a near-term resistance level with 24,500 offering strong downside support.

Rate-cut boost: Rupee jumps 11 paise to 85.68 against dollar; market rally and CRR cut lift sentiment
The rupee appreciated by 11 paise to close at 85.68 against the US dollar on Friday, reversing early losses after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) delivered a surprise 50 basis point repo rate cut and announced a phased 100 basis point reduction in the cash reserve ratio (CRR). The local unit opened weak at 85.91, down 12 paise from the previous close of 85.79. But sentiment turned sharply positive after the RBI's unexpected rate action, which supported growth prospects and lifted domestic equities. The rupee touched an intra-day high of 85.66 and a low of 86 before settling higher, PTI reported. "The rupee led the pack among Asian currencies, buoyed by the RBI's surprise 50 basis point rate cut. This decisive, growth-driven policy move provided a significant boost to the local currency and fuelled optimism among domestic equity investors," said Dilip Parmar, Senior Research Analyst at HDFC Securities. At the policy briefing, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the decision to move to a 'neutral' stance from 'accommodative' reflected a data-dependent outlook going forward. He added that the economy remained resilient, with foreign reserves strong enough to fund 11 months of imports and cover 96% of external debt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mistura chinesa faz cabelo crescer e homem fica irreconhecível Resultados em 30 dias Undo The surprise CRR cut is expected to inject additional liquidity into the banking system, lowering borrowing costs and aiding credit transmission. Anurag Mittal, Head of Fixed Income at UTI AMC, called the move "pre-emptive and precise," noting that the central bank's intent to fast-track transmission was clear despite existing surplus liquidity. The RBI retained its GDP growth forecast for FY25 at 6.5%. Despite the rate-induced rally, analysts warned of external risks. A rising dollar index, up 0.25% to 98.98, and weakening Asian currencies could limit further gains for the rupee. Brent crude futures slipped 0.26% to $65.17 per barrel. 'Any further rate cut by the RBI may also pressurise the rupee. However, a positive tone in the domestic markets may support the domestic currency at lower levels,' said Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. He expects the USD-INR pair to trade between 85.40 and 86.25 in the near term. Equity markets reflected the upbeat sentiment. The Sensex closed 747 points higher at 82,189, while the Nifty crossed the 25,000-mark to end at 25,003, up 252 points. Foreign institutional investors were net buyers, purchasing equities worth Rs 1,009.71 crore, exchange data showed.

Sensex jumps over 700 points, Nifty reclaims 25,000-level as investors cheer RBI's jumbo rate cut
The policy is broadly positive for growth and investment in a challenging global macro environment, they said. Market analysts said in light of benign inflation forecasts, RBI has taken steps to boost growth. A 50 bps repo rate cut supported by phased 100 basis points CRR cut will boost growth and lower the borrowing costs. Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI) Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surged nearly 1 per cent on Friday, driven by a rally in rate-sensitive sectors following the Reserve Bank's jumbo rate cut of 50 basis points. After a muted start, benchmark sensitive index Sensex and Nifty soon recovered all the early lost ground fuelled by the RBI monetary policy decision and gained over 1 per cent. The 30-share BSE Sensex ended the day higher by 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent, to settle at 82,188.99. During the day, it surged 857.85 points, or 1.05 per cent, to 82,299.89. The 50-share NSE Nifty reclaimed the 25,000-level and climbed 252.15 points, or 1.02 per cent, to settle at 25,003.05. All key sectors contributed to the rally, with rate-sensitive segments such as realty, financials, and auto emerging as top gainers, closely followed by others. Among sectoral indices, realty jumped 4.74 per cent, financial services (1.79 per cent), metal (1.56 per cent), auto (1.50 per cent), consumer discretionary (1.38 per cent), consumer durables (1.30 per cent) and bankex (1.25 per cent). Industrials and capital goods were the only laggards. Interest-rate-sensitive realty index jumped 4.74 per cent, while auto index went up 1.50 per cent and bankex climbed 1.25 per cent. 'The tone was initially cautious ahead of the outcome of the MPC's monetary policy review, but sentiment turned sharply positive following the surprise announcement of a 50-basis points repo rate cut and a staggered 100 basis points reduction in the CRR. This triggered a strong upward move, followed by a range-bound phase for the remainder of the session,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking said. Mishra further noted that 'going forward, the impact of the rate cut is expected to continue influencing market sentiment. The rate-sensitive pack, along with select themes like railways, are likely to stay in focus, while other sectors may contribute on a rotational basis.' The BSE midcap gauge jumped 0.91 per cent and smallcap index climbed 0.43 per cent. As many as 2,278 stocks advanced while 1,744 declined and 134 remained unchanged on the BSE. According to Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities, several external headwinds — ranging from US tariff policies and global trade tensions to sluggish worldwide growth and geopolitical risks — have weighed on domestic economic prospects, reinforcing the rationale for monetary easing. 'With enhanced liquidity and reduced borrowing costs, conditions are now set for sustained economic momentum and a market recovery. Rate-sensitive sectors responded enthusiastically to the announcement, reflecting renewed investor confidence. This stimulus could propel Indian equity markets beyond their current trading range, potentially pushing the Nifty past 25,000 and toward previous highs of 26,200,' Relli said. On the weekly front, the BSE benchmark surged 737.98 points or 0.90 per cent and Nifty jumped 252.35 points or 1 per cent. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.46 per cent to USD 65.04 a barrel. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai's SSE Composite index settled in the positive territory while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended lower. European markets were on a mixed note, while the US markets ended lower on Thursday. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 208.47 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data. PTI SUM DRR This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
