Steady Optimism, Quiet Volumes — A “Levels-First” Monday Setup
🇮🇳 Indian Market Pre Market Report – 29 December 2025 for Nifty, Bank Nifty and Sensex
This Indian Market Pre Market Report brings you a calm start to Monday, with that familiar year-end feeling: the screen is active, the mood is calm, but liquidity is thinner than usual. In these sessions, markets don’t always “trend”. They test levels, shake out impatience, and then choose a direction when participation improves.
So today, I’m keeping it simple: follow levels, respect banks, don’t force trades.
🌍 Global Cues
Global mood is supportive, but not loud.
US markets ended Friday in light post-holiday trade, with major indices slightly lower (moves under 0.1%).
Crude oil is higher in early Asian trade today, with Brent around $61.21 and WTI around $57.28, keeping the energy headline risk mildly active.
On the currency side, the rupee closed near 89.85/$ and traders are watching whether it threatens 90 in thin year-end conditions.
What this means for India:
No big risk-off signal. But the combination of thin volumes + month-end/quarter-end flows + currency watch can make intraday moves look sharper than they really are.
📈 GIFT Nifty – Today Morning Setup 🧭
GIFT Nifty is giving a mildly positive start signal.
Economic Times notes GIFT Nifty up ~20 points, hinting at a positive open. NSE’s live market widgets also show GIFT Nifty futures hovering near the 26.1k zone this morning.
So yes—opening bias is slightly positive, but it’s the kind of open that can fade if banks don’t join.
🇮🇳 Last Session Recap – What We’re Carrying Into Today
The last completed session (Friday 26 Dec 2025) ended with mild weakness:
Nifty 50: 26,042.30 (down ~0.38%)
Sensex: 85,041.45 (down ~0.43%)
Bank Nifty: 59,011.35 (down ~0.29%)
That close matters because it tells us one thing: profit-taking exists near highs, but support is not breaking. It’s more “cooling” than “cracking.”

🎯 Indian Market Pre Market Report – Key Levels to Watch Today (Supports & Resistances)
✅ Nifty 50
The market is treating 26,200 as a ceiling for now.
Support zone: 26,000 – 26,050 (this is the “must-hold” cushion)
Resistance zone: 26,200 (break and hold above this changes the tone)
My honest view:
If Nifty holds 26,000, dips will keep getting bought. But if 26,200 rejects again, you’ll see frustration trades—avoid those.
✅ Bank Nifty
Banking is still the steering wheel. The index doesn’t need to rally big—just stay stable.
Keep an eye on 59,000 as the “comfort line” (it was around this zone at the last close).
✅ Sensex
Sensex is following Nifty’s structure. If Nifty stays above support, Sensex generally behaves.

🧾 Open Interest & Put-Call Ratio – What Options Are Saying
This week is sensitive because we’re heading into key expiry and year-end positioning. Economic Times also flags that volatility can pick up with the December F&O expiry angle.
PCR snapshot (live indicator):
NIFTY PCR is around 0.6566 (a cautious/neutral tone, not euphoric).
Practical takeaway:
If PCR starts climbing toward 1.0+ with support holding, sentiment improves. If PCR stays low and price struggles near resistance, it’s usually a “range + sell-on-rise” day.
(Use this as a mood meter, not as a trading signal by itself.)
🌡️ India VIX – Volatility Still Sleeping
India VIX has been extremely low. The last close shows VIX around 9.15 (very calm).
Low VIX feels comfortable… but it can also cause careless trades. Calm markets punish overconfidence more than fear.
💸 FII & DII Data – Latest Available 🏦
Latest available cash data (for 26 Dec 2025) shows:
FII: net seller ~₹317.56 Cr
DII: net buyer ~₹1,772.56 Cr
This pattern is important: domestic money is still supporting dips, which is why corrections are getting absorbed instead of expanding.
🪙 Commodities – Morning Levels
Commodities are part of today’s tone because oil and metals influence sentiment fast.
🛢️Crude Oil
Brent crude: around $61.17–$61.21/bbl this morning
WTI:$57.27/bbl
🥇Gold
Gold: trading around ₹1,39,940/10 grams zone recently (still near highs)
🥈Silver
Silver (MCX): ₹2.40,935/kg showing strong levels in early morning updates (notable move visible on commodity dashboards)
What I watch:
If crude keeps rising sharply, it can create a small drag on sentiment. If crude stays stable, equities breathe easier.
💱 Currency Update – USD/INR
The rupee is on everyone’s radar:
Reuters highlights rupee pressure risk and notes it closed near 89.85/$, with traders watching the 90 mark. NSE’s currency widgets show USDINR futures around 89.9050 for 29 Dec.
If USDINR spikes, traders often get cautious intraday. If it stays stable, equity follow-through improves.
🧾 IPO Updates – What’s Active This Week
IPO activity is still alive (especially SME). For quick referencing:
IPO dashboards show multiple SME issues around late Dec with listing dates around end-Dec/early-Jan.
For your report, you can add a short line like:
“IPO action remains active in the SME segment; investor participation continues to be selective.”
🏛️ SEBI Updates – Latest (Dec 2025)
Two practical updates you can mention (fresh and official):
SEBI issued circulars on 24 Dec 2025 including steps around BSDA enhancements and simplification/ease measures (duplicate certificates process, etc.). SEBI also made changes around mutual fund expense ratio norms (investor cost angle) reported widely in financial media.
Keep the SEBI section short and clean—just enough to show you track regulation.
🧠 Today’s Market Outlook – My Read (Simple & Practical)
Today looks like a “steady optimism” day—positive open possible, but follow-through depends on participation.
If Nifty holds 26,000 and banks stay calm:
Dips get bought IT/quality large caps may lead Market tries again toward 26,200
If 26,200 rejects early and USDINR stays jumpy:
Range-bound Fast profit booking Better to trade light than chase
💡 Investment View 📌
Short-Term
Don’t chase the first green candle. Let the first 30–45 minutes settle. Respect 26,000 (risk line) and 26,200 (trigger line).
Long-Term
SIPs remain the most sensible plan in year-end noise. Use dips for staggered buying in quality names, not momentum hype.
