Market Outlook: Technical Call Of The Day & Top 5 Stocks In Focus For October 31, 2025

The benchmark Nifty 50 came under selling pressure as traders booked profits, erasing the previous day’s gains after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that a rate cut in the December policy meeting was unlikely. This dampened market sentiment, leading the index to slip below the psychological 26,000 mark — a key level for sustaining bullish momentum — and settle beneath the 25,900 zone.

Technically, if Nifty fails to reclaim and hold above the 26,000–25,950 resistance band, it may continue to consolidate, with immediate support seen at 25,800–25,700. A breach below this zone could pave the way for further downside towards 25,500, a critical support area. Unless the index moves decisively above 26,000, the upward bias is likely to remain capped.

Throughout the session, the index remained subdued, hitting an intraday low of 25,845 before closing at 25,878, down 176 points or 0.68%, forming a bearish candle on the daily chart. The RSI stood at 64.14, while the Stochastic RSI signaled a bearish crossover — a sign of cautious sentiment — though Nifty continues to trade above key moving averages, which offers some technical comfort.

Despite the broader uptrend, a short-term pullback cannot be ruled out. Sustaining below 25,900–25,950 on Friday could drag the index towards 25,800 or lower, whereas a firm breakout above 25,950 may reinvigorate bullish momentum. Options data indicated that 26,000 remains a strong resistance level, holding the highest Call open interest, followed by 26,200 and 26,500 strikes. Heavy Call writing at 26,000, 25,900, and 26,100 suggests selling pressure at higher levels. On the Put side, the 25,500 strike saw the maximum open interest, with notable Put writing at 25,600, 25,500, and 25,900, hinting at key support zones.

The Bank Nifty mirrored the weakness, slipping 354 points or 0.61 percent to close at 58,031 amid higher-than-average volumes. It formed a bearish candle with an upper wick, indicating selling pressure at elevated levels. Support for the index is placed near 57,630, while resistance lies around 58,580. As long as it holds above 57,630, the index is expected to consolidate within a 57,630–58,580 range; a breakout above 58,580 could trigger an upward move towards 59,000.

Meanwhile, the India VIX — the market’s volatility gauge — rose 0.79% to 12.07, showing mild caution among traders but no significant rise in fear unless it sustains above the 13 mark. Among major stocks, Coal India, Larsen & Toubro, and Hindalco emerged as top gainers, while Dr. Reddy’s, Cipla, and HDFC Life led the losers. Sectorally, except for Nifty Realty, all indices ended in the red, with Financial Services, Healthcare, and Pharma among the top laggards, indicating broad-based weakness across the market.
