Market Pulse — Short-term Technical Read (Nifty, Bank Nifty, Sensex)
Analysis based on the latest 5-minute charts: price structure, bearish channel, key support & resistance and short-term trade ideas.
Sensex — Current Structure
Short-term price action is inside a clearly defined descending channel. Recent swings show repeated Break of Structure (BOS) and a series of lower highs and lower lows — a classic bearish short-term bias.
- Price trading near a strong horizontal support zone (blue band) — watch for rejection or a clean breakdown.
- Any upside movement faces supply near the mid-channel resistance and the earlier demand-turned-supply zone ~84,200–84,300.
- If price breaks and closes above the channel + mid resistance, structure becomes neutral-to-bullish intraday.
Bank Nifty — What to watch
Bank Nifty shows the same rhythmic down-channel. Price tested support, formed a weak low, and attempted a relief bounce toward the channel median. Supply clusters above may cap rallies.
- Monitor the lower boundary of the channel — a decisive break signals accelerated bearish momentum.
- For bulls, valid confirmation requires a break of the falling trendline and a higher-high on the 5-min structure.
Nifty 50 — Short-term Outlook
Nifty's price is mirroring Sensex/Bank Nifty: trending lower within the channel, touching demand zone and showing short, shallow rebounds. Trend remains downward until proven otherwise.
- Key support: the blue demand zone around 25,700–25,720 (watch micro candles for signs of strength).
- Key resistance: channel median and the supply zone near 25,820–25,850.
Practical Trade Plans (Short-term)
Target: next structural support (~25,620 / 83,596 / 57,478 levels on respective indices).
Stop: above the local swing high or channel median. Risk:Reward ≥ 1:2.
Target: intraday support band; tighten stops if price shows weakness near the lows.
Stop: invalidation above recent high or breaking the channel.
Risk Management & Notes
- Keep position sizing small on aggressive plays — structure is bearish and false breakouts are possible.
- Use limit entries and defined stops — volatility in index options can spike around important levels.
- Prefer trades with clear price confirmation (volume, clean candle, or BOS) rather than guessing reversals.
