NIFTY Index Chart Analysis

The Nifty 50 benchmark index had been awaiting a major trigger to break out of its consolidation phase

The Nifty 50 benchmark index had been awaiting a major trigger to break out of its consolidation phase, which had been confined within the range of the sizable bullish candle formed on May 15. That much-needed trigger finally came in the form of the RBI’s monetary policy announcement.

The Reserve Bank of India delivered a deeper-than-anticipated 50 basis point cut in the repo rate, reducing it to 5.5 per cent, a near three-year low. This was accompanied by a surprise 100 basis point cut in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR). These decisive moves signalled a clear shift in the central bank’s focus from inflation management to reviving economic growth.

In response, the Nifty witnessed a strong up-move on Friday, followed by a gap-up on Monday, breaking out of the consolidation zone it had been stuck in since May 15. However, despite the breakout, the index did not see the kind of follow-through buying that typically confirms a strong trending move. At the same time, it managed to stay above the consolidation zone and even touched its upper boundary, continuing to hover near those levels.

Adding to the positive undertone, market volatility dropped sharply over 25 per cent from the May 27, 2025 peak. This decline in volatility indicates a reduction in uncertainty and suggests a shift towards a risk-on sentiment.

From a technical perspective, the next major upside target for the Nifty is around 25,350 - the 78.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement level of the correction from the all-time high to the April low. Sustained movement above this level could push the index towards its all-time high of 26,226, which also aligns with the measured move target based on the recent consolidation pattern.

On the downside, the 24,950– 25,040 zone is expected to offer immediate support. As long as the index remains above this range, the bullish bias is likely to stay intact. A close below this support zone could drag the index back into consolidation, in which case a retest of the 20-DMA, currently placed at 24,825, may be expected.

Momentum indicators reinforce the positive outlook. The RSI has entered bullish territory on both the daily and weekly charts. The weekly MACD is also in buy mode, and crucially, no negative divergences are visible across timeframes, offering further confidence in the market’s direction.

Overall, the upcoming fortnight may see the index trade with a positive bias. However, a convincing move above the 25,350 level is essential for a sustained upward trend. Until then, the market could continue to trade within a defined range.

It’s also worth noting that some sectors have rallied too quickly in recent sessions. At this stage, it is prudent to focus on protecting profits rather than chasing fresh highs. New positions should be limited to stocks displaying robust technical structures and relative strength.
