Can Nifty Sustain Momentum After Reclaiming 20-DMA?
About the Current Market Structure
🔹 Strong recovery seen in Nifty and Nifty Bank in the last session
🔹 Nifty reclaims 20-DMA with bounce near 25,400
🔹 Positive global cues from US tariff developments
🔹 Opening triggers indicate gap-up bias
Markets witnessed a technical recovery with Nifty reclaiming its 20-day moving average. The bounce from the 25,400 zone suggests buyers are defending near-term support levels.
Traders aligning intraday momentum with structured confirmation models often track setups like Nifty Breakout Call strategies for disciplined participation.
Key Levels to Watch
🔹 Nifty Support Range: 25,200 – 25,450
🔹 Nifty Resistance Range: 25,800 – 26,000
🔹 Nifty Bank All-Time High: 61,765
🔹 Banking sector sentiment under pressure from adverse news
A sustained move above 25,800–26,000 can extend bullish momentum. However, Bank Nifty approaching all-time highs may face hesitation if sector-specific concerns intensify.
Opening Triggers and Global Cues
| Trigger | Market Impact |
|---|---|
| Gap-up expected on US tariff cues | Positive short-term bias |
| FII shorts at 4-month lows (75%) | Short covering support |
| Dollar Index declines | Positive for EM markets |
| Oil prices soften | Inflation relief sentiment |
| Rupee near 91 (weakening) | Caution for FIIs |
While FII short positioning has eased significantly, continued rupee weakness and sustained cash market selling for the second consecutive session remain areas of concern.

Investor Takeaway
Derivative Pro & Nifty Expert Gulshan Khera, CFP® notes that reclaiming the 20-DMA improves short-term sentiment. However, sustainability requires breakout above 25,800–26,000 with supportive banking participation. Rupee movement and FII cash activity must be closely monitored.
