NIFTY WEEKLY OUTLOOK: HOLDS 26000, EYES ON 26277–26600Nifty 50 IndexNSE:NIFTYssudhirsharma11Nifty closed at 26068, staying firmly above the key psychological level of 26000. The index made a high of 26246 and a low of 25856, again respecting my broader range of 26400–25400. Bias: Bullish above 26000, cautious below 25850. If Nifty sustains above 26000, upside continuation towards 26277 (ATH), 26492 (important Fibonacci level), and 26600 remains possible. Below this week’s low of 25856, weakness can extend towards 25600. Expected range for the coming week: 26600–25600. Sector View: Last week I highlighted strength in PSU Banks, Private Banks, Auto, and Metals. PSU index gave up early gains and closed flat. Auto ended the week 1% higher, showing sustained momentum. Metals fell 3% and closed at the weekly low, signalling pressure. For Nifty to move higher, PSU and Private Banks along with Auto must remain strong. Metals need to avoid fresh weekly lows to prevent broader drag on sentiment. BANKNIFTY WEEKLY OUTLOOK: STRONG CLOSE BUT WITH CAUTION BankNifty posted an all-time high weekly close but formed a shooting star candle, indicating possible exhaustion. If BankNifty sustains above 59267, it can extend towards 60087 (important Fibonacci level). Below 58600, downside may open towards 57800–57700. Expected range: 60000–57700. S&P 500 WEEKLY OUTLOOK: WATCH FOR MONTHLY PATTERN CONFIRMATION S&P500 closed at 6602, down 130 points from last week. If the index sustains above 6700, the uptrend can resume towards 6840, 6881, 6930, and 7000. However, if the monthly candle confirms a bearish engulfing pattern, a 10–14% correction from current levels becomes possible. Traders should consider hedging long positions. Overall Market View: Nifty is holding above a critical level and remains positioned for a breakout if sectors align. BankNifty needs confirmation above 59267 for further upside. Global cues from S&P500 will be important as a bearish monthly pattern could impact risk sentiment.
