India's major stock indexes are expected to start the week with little change, offering a calm backdrop for investors.
Overall market picture
The Gift Nifty futures were up about 0.8% at 26,100, hinting at a gentle rise for the Spot Nifty. On Friday, the Sensex slipped 0.43% to 85,041 and the Nifty fell 0.38% to 26,042, ending a mixed week.
- Sensex gained 112 points (0.13%) for the week, breaking a two‑week losing streak.
- Nifty rose 0.30% for the week, ending a three‑week slide.
What analysts expect for Sensex
Experts say the index is holding near the 84,800‑84,500 level, where institutions have been buying on dips. A firm close above 85,500‑85,800 could push the index toward 86,000‑86,500 in the coming weeks.
Nifty 50 outlook
The Nifty stays above its 20‑day moving average, keeping a medium‑term bullish shape. Support sits around 26,000‑25,900. If the index breaks above the 26,200‑26,300 resistance band, it could climb to 26,500‑26,800 by early 2026. A dip to 25,800 would likely attract buyers rather than signal a deeper problem.
Bank Nifty prospects
Bank Nifty closed Friday at 59,011 and remains above its rising channel. Holding the 58,800‑59,000 zone could open the path to 60,000‑60,500, helped by optimism on credit growth and liquidity. Falling below 58,000‑58,500 would signal short‑term weakness, though the longer‑term uptrend stays intact.
Key take‑aways for investors
- Expect flat to mildly positive opening on Dec 29.
- Watch the 84,800‑84,500 level for Sensex and 26,000‑25,900 for Nifty as support.
- Bank Nifty could test the 60,000 mark if buying stays strong.
