How Is Nifty Positioned Ahead of the Budget With Key Support at 25260?
The Nifty index enters the final trading session of January at a sensitive juncture, with Budget expectations dominating market psychology. Price action suggests that the index is attempting to stabilise above key short-term averages, while medium-term averages continue to act as overhead pressure. This balance reflects a market that is cautious, selective, and highly level-driven rather than trend-driven.

Intraday Trading Perspective
From a trading perspective, today’s session is likely to remain level-oriented rather than directional. If the index opens and sustains above the 25260 zone, it signals that buyers are willing to defend risk ahead of the Budget, allowing incremental upside attempts. However, failure to hold the 25157–25100 band on a closing basis would indicate growing nervousness, opening room for deeper retracement.
Traders should avoid over-leveraging positions and focus on disciplined execution. Budget-related sessions often witness sharp intraday swings that test patience and risk management more than directional conviction.
