OVERALL VIEW ON THE DAILY CHART: --

It opened with a down gap and thereafter had both side moves during the day in the lower trajectory and finally, ended the day with a loss of 108.85 points. The gap it created on 19.1.2026 is still there and if it makes an effort to fill this gap in next 4-5 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 25365.15, 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 chart, below almost all medium term moving average on the daily chart, making lower top & bottom on the line and bar chart and almost all technical indicators are weak on the daily chart. Therefore all together it is highly concerning and can drag it down further if it does not bounce back above 25693.25 in a shortest possible time.  Moving down  it  will find next critical support  points range at  25561---25465---25373---25318.45----25262-----25161----25063---25001 (figures may change), it may bounce back from any of these points, but break & sustained close below the range of    25561will threaten the long term uptrend, break & sustained close below 25318.45 may  make the correction more painful time-wise & price-wise both and finally break & sustained close below 25001will be a potential threat for the long term uptrend and it may witness an accelerated fall.   

Moving up the key resistance points could be at 25591-----25611------25685.75---25693.25---25718.40---25726.30---25740.80---25842.95---25878----25891—--25892.77---25893----25951.82----25979-----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 the range of 25591-----25611------25685.75---25693.25- it will raise hope for extending the up move, if it moves above the range of  25893----25979 and sustain on the closing basis the 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 is in the buy mode, so it may witness up rally at times, but that may not sustain.

2. It is above all of its long terms moving average on the daily chart and the top moving average is placed at 25561(figure will change daily) for the day.

3. It is above all of its short term moving averages on the on the monthly chart.

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

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

3. It is below almost all(except for few) of its medium term moving average on the daily chart.

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 25693.25 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.

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 its short term rising trend line which is placed at 26372 (figure will change daily) for the day, sustained close below this line is a weak sigh and can drag it down.

5. It is below all its short-term moving averages now on the daily chart and the important average range for day is 25979---25899----25892--25860—25801--25751 (figure will change every day), sustained close below this range can drag it down further.

10. It is below its most critical 1^st make or break bottom of 25693.25 sustained close below it can drag it down sharply.

11. The price action was negative today.

TRADING CALL: --

1. Long trade can be tried if it holds the range of   25560---25495 if it holds this range for some time then with a stop loss of 25415 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 25700---25745 with a stop loss of 25820 or can sell if it moves below 25473 and maintain for some time, then with a stop loss of 25565. 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.
