OVERALL VIEW ON THE DAILY CHART: --

It opened with an up-gap and thereafter had both side moves during the day and in the process filled the gap of the day and finally, ended the day with a gain of 132.40 points. The gap it created on 19.1.2026 is still there and if it makes an effort to fill this gap in next 1-2 days which is technically possible then it can come up to 25662.40, but if it fails to fill the gap in the stipulated time then the chances of filling the gap will recede for the time being, but please note that one day it will surely fill the gap one day.  It is also important to mention here that it still has earlier unfilled gaps (gap points on downside are  24164, 22923, 22468 & 22254) also on the downside/upside, which is still a huge concern, although stipulated time for filling the gap is over long ago, but it will fill the gap one day for sure. So, be cautious. Please note that it is often exhibiting volatility, this is not a good sign for a steady market.

The technical setup is very weak, it is into deep correction mode for its recent rise, below critical key points, below short term rising trend line, below major long term rising trend line, below all the short term moving average on the daily, weekly and below few on the monthly chart, below all medium term moving average on the daily chart and few below on the weekly chart and most importantly after a long time it is below few of its long term moving averages thereby threatening the long term uptrend, making lower top & bottom on the line and bar chart and almost all the important technical indicators are weak on the daily chart. Therefore all together it is highly concerning and can drag it down further provided it does not bounce back above 25318.45---25569(some figure may change) & 25693.25 in a shortest possible time and sustain on the closing basis, if it remains below the aforesaid points particularly 25318.45 then the correction could be more painful time-wise & price-wise both. Moving down  it  will find next critical support  points range at  25267----25262.80(PTP) ----25235----25163----25133----25063---25028---24944.80----24857.75----24744 (figures will change daily)(it broke this range intraday but managed to close above few points), it may bounce back from any of these points, but break & sustained close below 25262.80(PTP) may dampen the chances of continued up-move, break & sustained close below 25028 will be a potential threat for the long term uptrend and then it may witness an accelerated fall and break & sustained close below 24944.80 & 24744 can drag it down to 24587 & 24337 levels or below.   

Moving up the key resistance points could be at 25318.45----25374----25468---25569---25591-----25637-------25693.25---25696----25718.40---25726.30---25740.80-------25842.95----25848-----25891—--25892.77------25951.82----26051.13-----26104.20----26124.28---26129.60----26173.30---26212.73----26223.88---26246.65----26256.33----26277.35—26325.80---26373.20 (some figures may change daily or at some point of time) it may correct at any of these points and then may resume the up-move again or may halt the up-move for a while. Please note that if it moves above  25318.45 and sustain on the closing basis, then it may give an indication to move up-further, if it moves above 25569 and sustain on the closing basis it may give a ray of hope that it can extend the up-move further, if it moves above the range of 25591-----25637-------25693.25 it will raise good hope for extending the up move, if it moves above 25848 and sustain on the closing basis then it may gain some strength for the up-move extension, if it moves above the range of 26104.20----26124.28---26129.60----26173.30 it will gain good  strength and will be a positive sign for continued up-move, if it moves above the range of 26212.73----26223.88---26246.65----26256.33 and sustain on the closing basis then it will get out of correction mode and may resume the up-move and if it moves above 26277.35 & 26325.80 and sustain on the closing basis then it may get back into strong up-momentum track again, else it may drift down. It is in the strong long-term uptrend, but into deep correction mode now.

IMPORTANT NOTE: - THE IMPORTANT POINTS FOR THE YEAR--2026 ARE 26129.60---26173.30---26325.80 AND TO KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE FOR A CONTINUED UP-MOVE IT HAS TO SUSTAIN ABOVE 26129.60---26173.30 AND TO GET INTO STRONG UP MOMENTUM IT HAS TO MOVE ABOVE 26325.80 AND SUSTAIN ON THE CLOSING BASIS THROUGH-OUT THE YEAR , ELSE IT MAY START TO DRIFT DOWN.

TECHNICAL INDICATORS  AND MOVING AVERAGE PLACEMENT ON THE CHART;-

POSITIVE POINTS:-

1. It is in the neutral/oversold zone and VM & ST is in the buy mode, so it may witness up rally at times, but that may not sustain.

2. It is above most of its long term moving averages on the daily chart, which is placed at 25267----25235----25163----25133----25063---25028(figure will change daily) for the day.

3. It is above almost all (except for one) of its short term moving averages on the on the monthly chart.

4. It is above almost all of its medium-term moving averages on the weekly & above all on the monthly chart.

NEGATIVE POINTS:-

1. Almost all the important indicators such as EV, MACD, PS & ADX are in the sell mode, RSI with negative divergence, so down move may happen at times and may extend also.

2. It is below all its short term moving average on the daily & weekly chart and below few on the monthly chart.

3. It is below all its medium term moving average on the daily chart and below few on the weekly chart.

4. It is below few of  its long term moving average on the daily chart and the averages are placed at 25569---25470---25376(figure will change daily).

In view of the above observation there is a mixed possibility and it can swing both ways but with a downward--bias as of now. Furthermore please also note that earlier vertical rise, unfilled gaps, negative divergence and in the overbought zone on weekly & monthly chart is still a concern, therefore fall also cannot be ruled out in coming weeks & months. Please keep an eye on the critical resistance & support points and price action for further directional indication.

TECHNICAL INDICATORS PLACEMENT ON THE WEEKLY & MONTHLY CHART:-

WEEKLY CHART: - Only ADX is in the buy mode and all other such as MACD, ST, EV & VM is in the sell mode and RSI is with negative divergence and it is in the overbought zone, therefore it may witness corrective down move at times.

MONTHLY CHART: -Few indicators are in buy mode such as ST, PS & ADX, but key indicator such as MACD, & VM are in the sell mode, it is in the overbought zone and with negative divergence in RSI. Therefore, all together indicators are painting a mixed picture now with slight tilt towards down-side as of now; therefore, further fall in the coming months cannot be ruled out, so be watchful.

IT IS SELL ON THE RISE  MARKET  NOW;-

It is into deep correction mode and broken all the key points, therefore now it will be sell on the rise market now till it moves above 25318.45 and sustain on the closing basis.  But long trade can also be tried on sharp decline and near critical support points or range, for intraday gains.

STRENGTH:-

1. It is above its most critical 3rd, 4th & 5^th make or break bottom of 24587.70---24337.50 & 21743.65 sustained close above it will keep the hope alive of resuming the up-move again.

2.  It is above its 1st downtrend line, which is placed at 25196(figure will change daily) for the day, it is a positive sign.

3. The price action was positive today.

 2. To get back into strong up-momentum track it has to move above 26277.35 & 26325.80 and sustain on the closing basis, else it may drift down.

3. It is into deep correction mode now as it is below all its threshold point of 26256.33----26223.88---26220.53----26212.73----26124.28---26051.13---25951.82----25892.77 sustained close below these points can drag it down further.

4. It is below all its short-term moving averages now on the daily chart and the important average range for day is 25848---25720----25696--25571—25543--25460 (figure will change every day), sustained close below this range can drag it down further.

9. It is below its most critical 1^st & 2^nd make or break bottom of 25693.25---25318.45 sustained close below it can drag it down sharply.

TRADING CALL: --

1. Long trade can be tried on decline near or within the range of    25263---25222 if it holds this range for some time then with a stop loss of 25145 for a possible intraday gain, else avoid. Please note that long trade in a corrective market could be a risky affair, but can be tried near critical support points for intraday gains.

2. Short trade can be tried on the rise near or within the range of 25490---25550 with a stop loss of 25610 or can sell if it moves below 25150 and maintain for some time, then with a stop loss of 25230. It could be a risky trade but can be tried for intraday corrective gains.

NOTE: - If it opens up with huge gap up then wait for it to settle down before initiating long position, but short trade can be attempted on huge gap up if it is near the selling point and vice versa . Since, it is showing volatility so any type of trade should be squared off during the day, if you don’t have reasonable profit margin in the trade. Day squaring off is strongly suggested in any case.
