What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on September 29

The Indian stock market is poised for a positive start on Monday, September 29, as early trends on the Gift Nifty signal a gap-up opening. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,816 levels a premium of nearly 126 points over the Nifty futures’ previous close. This comes after a week of persistent weakness, where both Sensex and Nifty 50 extended their losing streak for the sixth straight session.
On Friday, the Sensex crashed 733.22 points, or 0.90%, to close at 80,426.46, while the Nifty 50 declined 236.15 points, or 0.95%, to end at 24,654.70. Here’s a detailed look at what analysts expect from Sensex, Nifty 50, and Bank Nifty today:
Sensex Outlook
Sensex has formed a long bearish candle on the weekly charts and is holding a lower top formation on intraday charts, suggesting further weakness.
Key Resistance: 81,200 (a breakout above this could push the index toward 81,800 – 82,200).
Immediate Support: 80,300, with further downside risk toward 79,800 – 79,600 if selling pressure continues.
Analysts from Kotak Securities and SBI Securities highlight that the 200-day EMA zone around 80,100 – 80,000 will be crucial. A sustained move below this zone could trigger a deeper correction toward 79,300.
Nifty 50 Outlook
Nifty 50 broke its short-term trendline support and formed a strong bearish candle on both daily and weekly charts, signaling continued weakness.
Immediate Resistance: 24,850 – 24,900. A decisive move above 24,900 is essential to reverse the bearish trend.
Key Supports: 24,500 followed by 24,350. Further downside could see levels of 24,300 – 24,100, where the 55-week EMA lies.
Analysts from HDFC Securities, Centrum Broking, and Master Trust Group agree that until Nifty reclaims 25,350, sentiment will likely remain cautious, and traders may adopt a sell-on-rise approach.
Bank Nifty Outlook
Bank Nifty ended Friday’s trade at 54,389.35, down 586.85 points, or 1.07%. For the week, the index fell nearly 2%, forming a bearish candle on weekly charts.
Support Levels: The 200-day EMA zone of 53,800 – 53,700 is expected to act as strong support. A fall below this could open the way toward 53,000.
Resistance Levels: 54,700 – 54,800 will act as a hurdle for recovery. The 100-DEMA at 54,900 is another significant resistance, followed by 55,510.
Technical indicators, including RSI, suggest momentum remains weak, adding to bearish sentiment in the banking space.
Market Sentiment
Despite oversold conditions that may trigger temporary pullback rallies, the overall short-term market trend remains weak. Global cues will also play a key role in setting intraday direction, but domestic technicals suggest caution.
Key Takeaways for Traders:
Nifty range: 24,300 – 25,100.
Sensex watch levels: 79,800 – 81,800.
Bank Nifty watch levels: 53,700 – 55,510.
