GIFT Nifty starts lower by 40 points; key levels to watch in today's session
Declines in private bank and realty GIFT Nifty today pulled GIFT Nifty lower. Analysts expect the market to remain under pressure amid mixed Q1 earnings, continued FII selling and lack of progress on the India-US trade deal ahead of the nearing deadline. Stock market setup 2025 action will likely continue as earnings season gathers pace. Indian stock market update: Today's Forecast for Sensex, Nifty 50 & Bank Nifty Sensex Prediction With the formation of a bearish candlestick on the daily chart and lower high on intraday charts, we could see some more near-term selling. 'Market sentiment will likely remain subdued as long as the Sensex trades below the 81,100 level. If we see some more selling pressure, then there is a possibility of the index retesting the 80,500–80,350 zone. On the other hand, if we see a decisive move above 81,100, then a recovery rally may start, with the Sensex likely to test the 81,400 level. There could be some further room for the Sensex to the 81,700 level,' Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, told BloombergQuint. Nifty OI Data In the GIFT Nifty pre-market, the 24,800 strike on GIFT Nifty saw the maximum call option interest, which could turn out to be the resistance level. The 24,500 strike on the GIFT Nifty had the most put option interest, which could provide support around that level. So, a firm close above 24,800 would be a pre-requisite to revive the bullish momentum, change the sentiment and move higher, said Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking. Nifty 50 Prediction "The Nifty 50 index lost 0.63% on July 28 for its third straight session of losses." 'The market ended with a weak closing today, giving a red candle with selling on higher levels. It shows that the market is taking some support. If we see a move higher, there could be a strong resistance. Traders can take an opportunity to sell in this situation, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, told BloombergQuint.

Equity markets dip at open; banks, IT, realty drag
CHENNAI: The Indian equity markets opened on a weak note on Tuesday, July 29, extending losses for the fourth straight session. The Nifty 50 index has now fallen over 550 points from its recent high of around 25,250, reflecting a sustained downtrend led by foreign outflows, weak corporate earnings, and global uncertainty. On Monday, July 28, the Nifty closed 0.63% lower at 24,680.90 while the Sensex dropped nearly 570 points to settle at 80,891.02. Selling pressure was seen across banking, realty, and IT stocks, with Kotak Mahindra Bank's disappointing Q1 results leading the decline. Market sentiment further weakened as the indices closed near the lowest point of the day, a bearish signal ahead of the monthly expiry of Sensex contracts. Today morning, the GIFT Nifty indicated a flat-to-negative start, and the indices opened accordingly. Nifty opened around 24,650 and quickly slipped further to 24,609.65 by 9:15 a.m., down about 0.29% from the previous close. The Sensex opened roughly 100 points lower at 80,780 and continued to trade weak. Broader markets also saw pressure, with both mid-cap and small-cap indices down marginally. The market is currently weighed down by several factors: continued selling by foreign institutional investors, who offloaded over ₹6,000 crore worth of shares on Monday; stalled India–U.S. trade talks ahead of the August 1 deadline for tariff discussions; and poor quarterly earnings from key companies including Kotak Mahindra Bank, Lodha, and IndusInd Bank. The global risk-off mood and fears of retaliatory tariffs are further dampening investor appetite. Technically, both the Nifty and Sensex are showing signs of weakness, forming a pattern of lower highs and lower lows. Analysts point to key support for the Nifty around 24,550–24,500, with further downside possible toward 24,400 if this range is broken. Resistance is expected near the 24,800–25,000 zone. The session is also significant from a derivatives standpoint as it marks the monthly expiry for Sensex contracts, which may lead to heightened intraday volatility. Key events to watch include earnings reports from NTPC Green Energy, IndusInd Bank, Amber Enterprises, and UPL, as well as macroeconomic data like June's industrial production figures. In summary, markets opened lower on July 29, reflecting ongoing bearish momentum driven by global and domestic headwinds. Unless positive triggers emerge from corporate results or trade developments, the downside risks are expected to persist in the near term.
