Markets Shine Ahead of Muhurat Trading 2025
On 20 October 2025, as the Indian stock market readies for the special Muhurat Trading 2025 session scheduled for 21 October, the benchmarks chalked up another solid day of gains — buoyed by strong earnings, festive investor sentiment and positive global cues.
Key Market Moves
The Nifty 50 ended above the 25,800 mark and the BSE Sensex rose by roughly 400 points, extending its winning streak to four consecutive sessions.
Strong results from financials and large-caps were the major drivers: e.g., HDFC Bank hit record highs, and Reliance Industries surged on upbeat earnings.
What to Watch: Tomorrow’s Muhurat Trading
The traditional muhurat session will be held on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm IST (pre-open 1:30-1:45pm).
Notably, though the festival day (Diwali) is 20 October, the exchanges have scheduled the muhurat window for the next day.
Implications for Traders & Investors
With upbeat sentiment and a controlled market environment ahead of the muhurat session, short-term traders may look for tighter intraday ranges and late afternoon momentum. Investors may treat this period as a symbolic buying window signalling the start of the new Hindu financial year (Samvat 2082).
However, given the bullish run, slight profit-booking cannot be ruled out — analysts point to overbought indicators and emphasise that support levels need to hold for the move to sustain.
Takeaway
Today’s positive momentum sets a favourable tone for the muhurat session tomorrow. With major stocks rallying, festive inflows and structural softness in supply, the market appears positioned for a celebratory but disciplined trade. Traders should keep an eye on intraday dynamics post 11 am and in the last hour — given historical tendencies of midday pull-backs followed by late-session recoveries.
