Indian Markets Post Market Report (29 Dec 2025) — Year-end Lull, Sellers Still in Control

📌 Market Snapshot (Closing Bell)

Indian Markets Post Market Report says, Indian equities slipped for the 4th straight session, and the vibe felt very “year-end”: low urgency, thin participation, and selling showing up whenever the index tried to lift its head.

Nifty 50: 25,942.10 (▼ 100.20 | -0.38%) 

Sensex: 84,695.54 (▼ 345.91 | -0.40%) 

Bank Nifty: 58,928.20(▼ 79 |-0.13%)  YahooFinanace

Market breadth stayed weak: declines beat advances by a wide margin. 

My read: This wasn’t panic selling. It was that slow, stubborn kind—where buyers show up, but only in pockets, while the broader tape stays heavy.

🌍 Major Events & What Moved the Market Today

1) Year-end volumes + cautious positioning

A big part of today’s action was simply lack of strong triggers + holiday season liquidity. When participation is thin, even normal sell orders look “louder” on the chart. 

2) Foreign flow pressure remains the overhang

Foreign outflows have been a persistent headline theme into year-end, and it continues to cap upside attempts. 

3) Metals showed relative strength (one of the few bright spots)

Metals held up better, helped by expectations around demand and global cues. 

🏁 Sector Performance (Who hurt, who helped)

🔻 Pressure pockets

Selling stood out in IT, auto, pharma, realty—classic “profit-booking + caution” sectors when the market is not in a mood to chase risk. 

✅ Pockets of resilience

Metals and select defensives/large names managed to absorb selling better than the rest, which is why the index fall looked controlled rather than dramatic. 

📈 Top 5 Gainers (Nifty 50)

Here are the top gainers from the Nifty pack (close-to-close):

1.Tata Steel~ +1.88%

2.Grasim Industries ~ +0.88%

3.Tata Consumer Products~ +1.66%

4.Nestle India~ +0.58%

5. Asian paint ~ +1.05%

📉 Top 5 Losers (Nifty 50)

1.Adani Ports & SEZ ~ -2.20%

2.HCL Technologies ~ -1.81%

3.Power Grid~ -1.83%

4.Trent~ -1.38%

5.Bharat Elec ~ -1.31%

Quick takeaway: The losers list is telling you the market is still “risk-off” in parts—IT + a few high-beta names couldn’t escape the sell-through.

🧠 Indian Markets Post Market Report – Support & Resistance Levels (Key Trade Zones)

✅ Nifty 50 Levels

Support: 25,850 – 25,800

Resistance: 26,100 

Another widely watched zone: 26,000–25,950 as near support, with 25,800 as key support if weakness extends. 

✅ Bank Nifty Levels

Support: 58,700 – 58,800, then 58,500

Resistance: 59,300 – 59,400 (upper hurdle) 

✅ Sensex Levels (Practical zones)

I’ll keep this practical and clean:

Support zone: 84,300 → 84,000

Resistance zone: 85,100 → 85,300 (These are “zones” traders watch around round numbers and today’s structure—use as reference, not as a guarantee.)

🌡️ India VIX (Volatility Check)

Volatility ticked up from very low levels:

India VIX: around 9.72 area (intraday spike ~6%) 

What it means: Even after the jump, VIX is still low historically—so this looks more like mild caution, not fear.

🧾 FII & DII Data (Latest available)

As per the Today data

FII (Cash): net sellers -₹2,759.89 Cr

DII (Cash): net buyers +₹2,643.85 Cr 

Market feel: DIIs are still acting like the stabilizer, but when foreign selling + year-end caution combine, rallies struggle to sustain.

🪙 Commodity Check (Key Numbers)

🛢️ Crude

Brent: around $61.96/bbl (up ~1%) 

WTI: $58.06/bbl

🥇 Gold (India / MCX references seen today)

Gold was near record-ish zones, with mixed moves through the day depending on the contract and time-window. 

Gold ~ ₹1,38,299 /10grams

🥈 Silver (the headline commodity!)

Silver remained the talk of the town—sharp moves and record-zone action on MCX were noted in reports today. 

Silver~ ₹2,35,365/kg

💱 Currency Update (USD/INR)

Rupee: around 89.98 per USD (reported close by PTI pick-ups)  A softer rupee + year-end flows also keep traders cautious in rate-sensitive pockets. 

🧾 IPO Updates (This Week Focus)

If you want the clean “what matters” summary:

No major mainboard IPOs highlighted for this week in many trackers; SME activity is the focus.  Shyam Dhani Industries was in the spotlight for its NSE SME debut expected on Dec 30, 2025 (as per coverage). angelone

🏦 Investment View (Short term vs Long term)

Short-term (1–5 sessions)

Treat 26,100 (Nifty) as the “prove-it” zone. Until that’s reclaimed, rallies may face supply.  If 25,800 breaks, the tone can turn more defensive quickly. 

Long-term (3–12 months)

Year-end chop doesn’t change the bigger picture by itself. What matters is earnings follow-through and whether flows normalize into the new year.  For investors, this phase is best used for watchlists + staggered accumulation (not lump-sum emotion).Reuters

⭐ Stock of the Day (Educational): Tata Steel

Why it stood out today: It featured among the top Nifty gainers, and metals showed relative strength while the broader market stayed soft. 

Learning angle for readers (Kartalks-style):

When markets are weak, relative strength matters. Stocks that hold green (or fall less) often become the first leaders when the market mood improves. Watch how it behaves near resistance zones: strong stocks usually don’t give back gains easily.

(This is an educational highlight, not a buy/sell call.

🧷 SEBI Updates (Quick Note)

SEBI issued circulars on Dec 24, 2025 aimed at improving investor experience and processes—example: ease of doing investment measures like standardization/simplification around certain documentation and services.
