Nifty Trades and targets - 29/9/25Nifty tomorrow analysis - Overall trend is down so look for PE trades unless we do not cross 24760. Market will try to hold the previous day low as long as possible. There are no support zones till 24470, if we cross this too then we can look 24400 for sure. Look for sell on rise trades for most part of the day. .
Nifty broken Swing support NSE:NIFTY has broken the support I was holding on to. For me, that makes it clear – this is not my trading environment.
Now there should be a bounce. Not a dead-cat bounce, but one that sustains above the previous pivot. Only then will I be back in the game of index trading – on either side.
The pivot has now shifted to 24717. The PP is 0.25%, which signals there may be another sharp fall even after a bounce. The pullback isn’t over yet.
I know I mentioned earlier that sellers’ volume is going less and less. But that doesn’t mean buyers are here. Buyers will only step in when I see buyers’ volume exceeding sellers’ by at least 5 million.
The next buyable support is near 24400. Intraday resistance lies at 24777. If that breaks, we could see short covering up to 24910.
As Friday’s sellers’ volume was still higher than buyers by 17 million, I’ll be looking for shorting opportunities on a bounce rather than going long.
I’m an index trader, and I must listen to the volume more than anything else.
For the overall market, the environment is not good. The retail index has been sliding, and we need to wait until it catches momentum.
Even for the short term, I won’t be picking any stocks right now. I’ll wait for sellers’ volume to be absorbed first.
So in short – the coming week will be more of a wait-and-watch period for me. A professional trader doesn’t trade every day anyway.
No position is also a position in trading.
That’s it. Have a profitable week ahead. Take care.

Nifty Weekly Analysis, Retailers Trapped, Bearish Momentum AheadWeekly View
As expected, the market has started falling exactly from the trendline resistance, confirming the sell-off point.
Previously, I highlighted how this was a case of manipulation to trap retailers at higher levels, and now the price action is proving that right.
Nifty is still in bearish mode .
The so-called double bottom pattern has failed, which strengthens the bearish outlook.
Downside looks easy till 24000 in the near term.
Daily View
For the last 6 trading sessions, Nifty has sold off continuously. Expect a pullback upside till 25000.
Resistance remains strong near 24900 - 25000 (also the zone where fresh selling pressure may resume).
Monthly Closing Outlook
Only 2 sessions left for the monthly expiry and closing.
Expecting closing levels near last month's opening price - 24730.
If Monday opens gap down → I will wait for a pullback (short covering is likely due to expiry).
If Monday opens gap up → Expect volatility, but upside will be limited to 24900 - 25000 zone.
Trading Plan & Targets
Buy plan only above the falling trendline (not before).
Till then, it's Sell on Rise Market.
Immediate downside targets:
24000 (Gap Fill & Round Number)
23250 (Major Support & Confluence Zone) before year-end.
Very high chance Monday may open a gap up → go higher → then volatility + selling pressure resumes.

Nifty Structure Analysis & Trade Plan: 29th SeptemberThe market's performance on Friday, September 26, the Nifty has continued its sharp decline, breaking multiple support levels. The market is now in a strong bearish trend, with a clear downward channel across all timeframes.
Detailed Market Structure Breakdown
4-Hour Chart (Macro Trend)
Structure: The Nifty is in a deep corrective phase, having broken the critical 25,050 - 25,100 zone and continued its fall. The price closed right at the strong macro demand zone of 24,650 - 24,700, which is a prior accumulation area. This area is the key "line in the sand" for the medium-term bullish structure that started in early September.
Key Levels:
Major Supply (Resistance): 24,800 - 24,850. This area is now a strong overhead resistance, aligning with the broken lower channel line from the previous week.
Major Demand (Support): 24,600 - 24,650. This is the immediate and most critical support zone. A sustained breakdown below 24,600 would suggest the correction is far from over, with the next target at 24,400.
Outlook: The trend is strongly bearish, but the index is sitting on a major support level. A bounce is highly probable from this zone, but the overall bias remains "sell on rise."
1-Hour Chart (Intermediate View)
Structure: The 1H chart is strongly bearish, trading in a well-defined descending channel. The market is making lower lows and lower highs, and the latest move penetrated the strong 24,650 support zone before a slight bounce.
Key Levels:
Immediate Resistance: The upper trendline of the descending channel, currently near 24,780.
Immediate Support: 24,600. This is the level that bulls must defend at the open.
15-Minute Chart (Intraday View)
Structure: The 15M chart confirms the steep bearish momentum. The index is trading at the bottom of its descending channel. Any opening below 24,650 will invite further selling.
Key Levels:
Intraday Supply: 24,750 - 24,800. This is the high of the recent small consolidation and the immediate resistance.
Intraday Demand: 24,600. The crucial level to watch for Monday.
Outlook: The primary strategy is to sell into strength or on a breakdown, as the overall trend is down.
Trade Plan (Monday, 29th September)
Market Outlook: The Nifty is bearish, but located at a major support zone. The strategy is centered on whether 24,600 holds.
Bearish Scenario (Primary Plan)
Justification: The breakdown below the macro support at 24,600 would confirm the continuation of the strong bearish trend toward the next accumulation zone.
Entry: Short entry on a decisive break and 15-minute candle close below 24,600.
Stop Loss (SL): Place a stop loss above 24,700.
Targets:
T1: 24,500 (Minor psychological support).
T2: 24,400 (Next major support zone).
Bullish Scenario (Counter-Trend/Reversal Plan)
Justification: This is a high-risk, counter-trend plan. It relies on the strong demand zone at 24,600 holding firm.
Trigger: A reversal from the 24,600 - 24,650 zone (e.g., a hammer or bullish engulfing candle) or a sustained move and close above 24,800.
Entry: Long entry on a confirmed bounce from 24,600 - 24,650 with a bullish pattern, or on a break above 24,800.
Stop Loss (SL): Below 24,580 (for a bounce trade) or 24,700 (for a breakout trade).
Targets:
T1: 24,850 (Upper channel resistance).
T2: 25,000 (Psychological resistance).
Key Levels for Observation:
Immediate Decision Point: The 24,600 - 24,700 zone.
Bearish Confirmation: A break and sustained move below 24,600.
Bullish Confirmation: A recapture of the 24,800 level.
Line in the Sand: 24,600. The overall market structure will weaken significantly below this level.

Are Indian Stock Markets Heading Into a Bear Market?A potential bear market signal is emerging in the Indian stock market due to divergence between market breadth and the NIFTY 50 index.
1. Divergence Between Breadth and Index
NIFTY 50 line is trending upward, showing resilience.
However, major stocks are moving in a downtrend, and the percentage of stocks trading above their 200-day moving average (DMA) is falling.
This divergence indicates that while the index appears healthy, broader participation is weak — a classic warning sign of distribution.
2. Market Breadth as a Warning Indicator
Breadth above 50% (more than half of stocks above 200DMA) usually supports a sustainable uptrend.
When breadth falls below 50%, the market enters a fragile state — an early stage of a bear trend despite index strength.
If breadth slips to below 30% while divergence persists, this historically signals brutal market phases, where corrections deepen and selling pressure accelerates.
3. Bear Market Probability
Divergence + weak breadth often precedes distribution phases where institutions gradually exit.
While the NIFTY may still rise short-term, lack of participation suggests the rally is narrow and unhealthy.
Crossing below the 30% breadth threshold can act as a confirmation trigger for a potential bear market.
🔑 Core Insight:
A bear market does not begin when the NIFTY starts falling, but when breadth weakens while the index diverges upward. If breadth falls below 30%, brace for a brutal phase of correction
NIFTY 1D Time framePrevious Close: 24,889
Today Open: 24,819
Day’s High: 24,869
Day’s Low: 24,629
Current / Last Price: around 24,655
⚡ Strategy
Bullish Plan:
Buy near 24,550 – 24,600 with SL below 24,300.
Targets: 24,700 → 24,800 → 24,900.
Bearish Plan:
If price breaks below 24,300, expect weakness toward 24,100 – 24,000.
Nifty 50: Monthly Supply Zone Rejection Signals Bearish Momentum📊 Monthly Timeframe Analysis 📊
Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 have both respected their monthly supply zones, taking a clear rejection from these levels. Interestingly, despite the difference in the number of stocks (50 vs. 500), both indices are showing identical patterns, which the market is currently reflecting as a strong bearish bias.
📉 Weekly Timeframe Analysis
The weekly chart shows a proper rejection from a sloping downtrend line, confirming sellers’ dominance.
This week’s candle has formed a Bearish Marubozu – a long body with tiny wicks – indicating strong selling pressure.
Structurally, this candle aligns with an Evening Star type reversal, reinforcing the bearish bias.
Key takeaway: Weekly chart clearly favors the bears until price sustains above the supply zone.
📉 Daily Timeframe Analysis
On the daily chart, selling pressure has been continuing for the past few sessions.
Today’s candle is a Gap Down Bearish Candle, forming part of a Three Black Crows pattern on Nifty 500.
This confirms a short-term trend reversal and strong bearish momentum.
The next major support lies around the demand zone Nifty (~24475). If price tests this zone and reverses, we may see a bounce.
However, if the daily close is below this demand zone in upcoming sessions, expect further downside.
✅ Final Outlook ✅
Monthly supply zone has triggered a bearish reversal, coinciding with the Weekly Downtrend line.
Strong Bearish Marubozu on weekly close signals a shift in trend toward sellers.
Daily Three Black Crows + Gap Down candle confirms strong selling pressure in the short term.
Overall bias remains bearish until support near the demand zone shows a potential reversal.

Introduction to Sector Rotation Strategies in Trading1. Understanding Sector Rotation
Sector rotation is a trading strategy used by investors and traders to capitalize on the cyclical movements of different sectors of the economy. The concept stems from the observation that economic conditions, business cycles, and market sentiment affect various sectors differently at different stages of the cycle. By identifying which sectors are likely to outperform in a given phase, traders can allocate capital strategically to maximize returns.
The financial markets are influenced by macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, consumer spending, corporate earnings, and geopolitical events. These factors create patterns of performance among different sectors—technology, healthcare, financials, energy, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, industrials, materials, utilities, and real estate. Sector rotation involves moving investments from one sector to another based on expected performance changes due to these macroeconomic shifts.
2. The Conceptual Basis of Sector Rotation
2.1 Economic Cycles and Sector Performance
Economic cycles consist of expansion, peak, contraction, and trough phases. Each phase favors certain sectors over others:
Expansion: During periods of economic growth, cyclical sectors such as technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials tend to outperform.
Peak: At the peak of economic activity, investors may rotate toward sectors with stable earnings and dividends, like utilities and consumer staples.
Contraction: Defensive sectors such as healthcare, utilities, and consumer staples often outperform as the economy slows.
Trough: At the bottom of the cycle, early cyclicals like financials and industrials start to recover, signaling the beginning of the next rotation cycle.
This cyclical nature forms the theoretical foundation for sector rotation strategies.
2.2 Market Sentiment and Behavioral Economics
Market sentiment, influenced by investor psychology, can drive sector rotation independently of the fundamental economic cycle. For example, bullish investor sentiment often drives funds into growth sectors like technology, while bearish sentiment increases the appeal of defensive sectors. Understanding behavioral tendencies, including fear and greed, is essential for timing sector rotations.
2.3 Relative Strength and Momentum Indicators
Technical analysts often use relative strength (RS) and momentum indicators to identify sectors with potential for outperformance. Relative strength compares the performance of one sector to another or to the broader market index. Momentum indicators, such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) or the Relative Strength Index (RSI), provide signals for trend reversals and optimal entry points.
3. Key Sectors and Their Roles in Rotation
To implement a sector rotation strategy, traders must understand the characteristics of each sector:
Technology: High growth, highly sensitive to economic expansion, driven by innovation and corporate earnings.
Healthcare: Defensive, stable cash flows, less sensitive to economic cycles.
Financials: Sensitive to interest rates, economic growth, and credit demand.
Energy: Influenced by commodity prices and global economic demand.
Consumer Discretionary: Cyclical, benefits from higher consumer spending.
Consumer Staples: Defensive, maintains stable performance during downturns.
Industrials: Cyclical, tied to economic growth, manufacturing, and infrastructure investment.
Materials: Tied to commodity prices and industrial demand.
Utilities: Defensive, steady dividends, low growth, preferred during economic uncertainty.
Real Estate: Sensitive to interest rates and economic cycles.
Understanding the sensitivity of each sector to macroeconomic variables is crucial for timing rotations effectively.
4. Tools and Techniques for Sector Rotation
4.1 Fundamental Analysis
Traders use fundamental analysis to assess sector health, focusing on factors like GDP growth, interest rates, inflation, and corporate earnings. Key indicators include:
Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI)
Inflation and CPI reports
Central bank monetary policies
Employment and consumer spending data
These indicators help predict which sectors are likely to outperform in upcoming phases of the economic cycle.
4.2 Technical Analysis
Technical tools assist in identifying the right timing for sector rotations:
Sector ETFs: Exchange-traded funds provide exposure to specific sectors and allow for easy rotation.
Moving Averages: Indicate trend direction and momentum for sector indices.
Relative Strength Charts: Compare performance of sectors against the market benchmark.
MACD and RSI: Detect overbought or oversold conditions, signaling potential rotation points.
4.3 Quantitative Models
Quantitative models, including factor-based investing and algorithmic strategies, allow traders to systematically rotate sectors based on data-driven signals. Factors such as valuation ratios, growth metrics, momentum, and volatility can be incorporated into sector rotation models.
5. Benefits of Sector Rotation Strategies
Enhanced Returns: Capturing sector outperformance can generate alpha beyond broad market gains.
Risk Management: Rotating into defensive sectors during downturns reduces portfolio volatility.
Diversification: Moving across sectors balances exposure and mitigates sector-specific risks.
Flexibility: Can be applied in both long-only and long-short portfolios.
Data-Driven Decision Making: Combines fundamental, technical, and macroeconomic analysis for strategic investment.
6. Challenges in Sector Rotation
While sector rotation can be profitable, it comes with challenges:
Timing Risks: Entering or exiting a sector too early can reduce returns or create losses.
Transaction Costs: Frequent rotation may increase brokerage fees and slippage.
Complex Analysis: Requires constant monitoring of economic indicators, earnings reports, and technical trends.
Market Volatility: Unexpected events can disrupt rotation patterns.
Behavioral Biases: Traders may react emotionally, missing optimal rotation opportunities.
Successful sector rotation demands discipline, research, and a systematic approach.
7. Practical Implementation of Sector Rotation
7.1 Using Sector ETFs
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking sector indices provide an easy method for implementing rotation strategies. For example:
Technology ETF: QQQ or XLK
Healthcare ETF: XLV
Financial ETF: XLF
Investors can allocate capital dynamically based on economic signals and technical indicators.
7.2 Rotating Across Industry Sub-Sectors
Advanced traders rotate within sectors to capture micro-trends. For example, within the technology sector, semiconductors may outperform software during one cycle, while cloud computing leads in another.
7.3 Integrating with Broader Portfolio Strategy
Sector rotation can complement broader portfolio strategies like:
Value investing
Growth investing
Momentum trading
Dividend investing
Integrating sector rotation helps enhance returns and manage risks across market cycles.
8. Case Studies and Historical Examples
8.1 The 2008 Financial Crisis
During the 2008 financial crisis, defensive sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities outperformed, while cyclical sectors like financials and industrials suffered. Traders who rotated into defensive sectors preserved capital and captured relative outperformance.
8.2 Post-COVID-19 Recovery (2020–2021)
Technology and consumer discretionary sectors led the recovery due to shifts in consumer behavior and digital adoption. Investors who rotated into these growth sectors early benefited from significant gains.
8.3 Commodity Price Cycles
Energy and materials sectors often experience rotations based on commodity cycles. Traders tracking oil, gas, and metals prices can anticipate sector performance to adjust portfolio allocations accordingly.
9. Sector Rotation and Global Markets
Sector rotation is not limited to domestic markets. International investors can apply rotation strategies to:
Emerging markets
Developed markets
Regional ETFs
Global macroeconomic factors, such as interest rate differentials, trade policies, and geopolitical tensions, create opportunities for cross-border sector rotation.
10. The Future of Sector Rotation
With the rise of technology, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, sector rotation strategies are becoming more sophisticated. AI-driven models can:
Analyze vast economic datasets
Predict sector performance with machine learning
Automate rotation decisions
Reduce human bias
Furthermore, thematic investing and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) trends are influencing sector performance, providing new dimensions for rotation strategies.
11. Conclusion
Sector rotation is a dynamic and nuanced trading strategy that leverages economic cycles, market sentiment, and technical analysis to maximize portfolio performance. By understanding sector behavior, monitoring macroeconomic indicators, and applying disciplined entry and exit strategies, traders can enhance returns while managing risks. Though complex, sector rotation remains a powerful tool for both institutional and individual investors seeking to navigate the ever-changing landscape of financial markets.
