Market Today: A breather after a slide, whatā€™s next?

Friday brought a much-needed pause to the marketā€™s recent fatigue. Buying was broad-based, with the A/D ratio holding firm at 2:1 and 43 Nifty stocks ending in the green.

Nifty50 continues to trade within its parallel channel and is hovering close to the upper boundary. The 26,000 mark remains the key level to watch for a decisive breakout, while the index continues to defend its recent lows.

Bank Nifty held the crucial 58,650ā€“58,800 support zone through the week and is now setting up an interesting test near 59,250 if momentum carries forward.

Open Interest Insights

Strong put writing at 25,900 (98.93L) and 25,800 (43.46L) highlights a developing support zone. Call writing remains relatively light, with modest additions at 26,000 (12.94L).

The PCR-OI stands elevated at 1.1, suggesting a bullish-to-neutral setup where dips are more likely to be supported unless fresh call writing emerges.
