NIFTY INDEX DAILY REPORT

The Nifty 50 restricted session after starting higher past the 24,600 mark, initially buoyed by favorable international signals. Early enthusiasm fizzled, leaving the benchmark largely range-bound for the remainder of the day while investors processed the Reserve Bank of India’s choice to maintain key interest rates at 5.25% for a third straight meeting. Trading sentiment was also shaped by market participants adapting to SEBI’s new Closing Auction Session (CAS) for derivative stocks; this triggered uneven sector performance and profit-taking in major names like HDFC Bank, Reliance, and prominent IT stocks, though strength in auto and retail giants like Mahindra & Mahindra and Trent helped cushion the downside.

Bank Nifty is resting after a big move, beginning the day at 57,810, slightly below its previous closing mark of 57,907.20. After gaining to an intraday high of 57,931.85, the index slipped under a down to 57,456.35, driven by market reactions to the Reserve Bank of India maintaining benchmark interest rates at 5.25%. Heavy selling pressure across leading private lenders pulled the overall market down by roughly 0.6% to 0.7%, settling near the 57,500 region. Even with this decline, the index successfully supports its key support band near 57,400, pointing to a watchful stance among financial sector investors following the central bank’s policy update.

Nifty Auto index led the market’s gain, surging over 1.27% to end the day around 29,411.55. Beginning the session at 29,231.30, the sector goes upward momentum to reach a high of 29,489.20, easily Overtaking major benchmarks. Investor interest was strongly driven by key industry giants like Mahindra & Mahindra, amid encouraging passenger vehicle volume numbers and RBI policy decision to keep interest rates unchange at 5.25%. Even as broader market fluctuations emerged later in the day, sustained auto manufacturers and component makers allowed the sector to protect its advances, making its position as a top market leader for the day.

The Nifty FMCG index lagged behind the primary market indicators, and extended its fall for the second straight trading session shedding 0.29% to settle at 49,383.50. The consumer goods domain bowed to selling pressure as traders balanced the RBI’s unchanged rate policy against rising concerns over production expenses. Key market movers such as Nestle India, Varun Beverages, and Pidilite Industries heavily weighed down the index. But sharp fluctuations in crude oil markets going below the $80 mark, a key driver of packaging and material overheads, discouraged buyers from stepping into consumer defensive stocks during the day.

NIFTY DAILY CHART

The Nifty50 couldn’t manage to sustain and plunged to the low of 24,497.75, but after the RBI monetary policy, the index managed to pull itself above and closed with again mere 9.75 points. Thus, the nifty must trade above the mark of 24,650, for further upside to the level of 24,770. Else prices may reach a day’s low of 24,470.

Equity Market Technical Analysis Snapshot: Aug 05^th, 2026

NIFTY50:

Nifty 50 ended marginally higher, gaining 0.04% after opening with a gap-up at 24,669.20. The index faced resistance soon after the opening and drifted lower to an intraday low of 24,497.95, where buying interest emerged. Owing to the new settlement process, Nifty settled at 24,624.65. The index continues to trade above its 11-DMA and 30-DMA, but remains below the 200-DMA, indicating that the broader trend is still under recovery while the short-term outlook remains sideways to bullish. The RSI at 61.96 suggests that momentum remains positive despite the intraday weakness. Immediate resistance is placed at 24,800 and 25,000, while support is seen at 24,450 and 24,300. A sustained move above 24,800 could strengthen the bullish momentum, whereas holding above 24,450 will be crucial to maintain the current structure.  

BANKNIFTY:

Bank Nifty declined 0.29%, opening gap-down at 57,810.05. The index initially rose to an intraday high of 57,931.85 before witnessing steady selling pressure throughout the session, touching a low of 57,456.35. Following the new settlement process, it settled at 57,739.95. Despite the pullback, Bank Nifty continues to trade above its 11-DMA, 30-DMA, and 200-DMA, keeping the short-term trend sideways to bullish. The RSI at 53.62 indicates neutral-to-positive momentum. Immediate resistance is placed at 58,000 and 58,300, while support is seen at 57,500 and 57,350. Holding above the support zone could attract fresh buying interest, while a decisive breakout above 58,000 may open the door for a move towards 58,300.

Nifty Mid Select edged up 0.06%, opening gap-up at 14,954.00 before facing selling pressure that dragged the index to an intraday low of 14,841.75.

The RSI at 60.48 reflects healthy momentum, suggesting that the broader uptrend remains intact. Immediate resistance is placed at 14,900 and 15,000, while support lies at 14,840 and 14,730. A sustained move above 14,900 could lead to fresh buying momentum, while holding above 14,840 would reinforce the ongoing bullish structure.

Nifty Metal outperformed the broader market, rising 1.70% after opening with a gap-up at 13,110.80. The index traded sideways during the first half of the session before witnessing strong buying interest in the latter half, rallying to an intraday high of 13,257.65 and settling near the day’s high at 13,254.20. The index remains firmly above its 11-DMA, 30-DMA, and 200-DMA, confirming a strong bullish trend. The RSI at 68.22 indicates robust momentum and is approaching the overbought zone, suggesting that while the trend remains positive, some short-term consolidation or profit booking cannot be ruled out. Immediate support is placed at 13,000 and 12,850, while resistance is seen at 13,500 and 13,650. A sustained breakout above 13,500 could extend the rally further, while the 13,000 level is expected to provide strong support on any pullback.
