Indian equity markets closed the monthly F&O expiry session on December 30 on a flat note but with a negative undertone, as the Nifty 50 extended its losing streak to four consecutive sessions. While technical and momentum indicators continue to signal caution, a late-session recovery toward the psychological 26,000 level has sparked hopes of a near-term bounce.
After recent declines, the Nifty appears to be forming a neutral pattern near key support zones, suggesting selling pressure may be easing. Market experts believe that if the index sustains this recovery, it could attempt a move toward the 26,100–26,300 range in the coming sessions. However, failure to hold higher levels may drag the index down to the 25,800–25,700 support zone, where buyers are expected to step in.
On the final trading day of 2025, global cues remain mixed, though early signals from the GIFT Nifty point to a mildly positive opening. As the year draws to a close, investor focus is shifting toward 2026, especially after India’s markets underperformed several global peers in 2025.
Key questions now revolve around whether bulls can regain control in the new year, which sectors may lead the next leg of the rally, and how valuations, earnings recovery, and global macro trends will shape the market’s direction in 2026.
