OVERALL VIEW ON THE DAILY CHART: --

It opened on a negative note and thereafter it had both side moves during the day and finally, ended the day with a gain of 211.65 points. The gap it created on 12.2.2026 is still there and if it makes an effort to fill this gap in next 2-3 days respectively which is technically possible then it can come up to 25752.40(D) 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- gap point on the upside 25703. 95 & 25108.10) 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 weak and it may not continue with a sustained up-move  till it closes above 25693.25 and sustain, it is into deep correction mode for its recent rise, below its long term rising trend line, broken recent bottom on the line chart, below few short & medium term moving averages on the daily & weekly chart, so all these developments together are concerning and can drag it down further. But the good thing is that it is above its short term rising trend line, bounced back above its upper band of the long term moving averages, so long term uptrend is still intact and almost all the important technical indicators are positive now, therefore there is a faint chance that it may have relief rally at times, but may resume the continued up-move only once it closes above 25693.25 and sustain,  moving down if it holds the key support points of 25635----25624----25472----25318.45-----25112---24996.89---24944.80----24857.75----24753.15---24744---24587---24404.70—24337---23935.75---23847.85 (some figures will change daily), on the closing basis then it may extend the up-move. Please note that it is into deep  correction mode, therefore break below each point will weaken it, but break & sustained close below 25624 will threaten the long term uptrend again, break & sustained close below 25472 will weaken it further, break & sustained close below25318.45  may trigger fresh fall , break & sustained close below 25110 Will potentially threaten the long term uptrend, break & sustained close below the range of  24996.89---24944.80 may dampen the chances of up-move further, break & sustained close below 24744 can drag it down to 24337 levels and finally break and sustained close below it can drag it down to much lower levels.  

Moving up the key resistance points could be at 25693.25----25718.40---25726.30---25740.80----25756----25842.95----25891—--25892.77------25917----25948----25951.82----26013----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 it is into deep corrective mode, but if it moves above the range of 25693.25 and sustain on the closing basis then there will be good chance that the up-move may extend, if it moves above 25756 and sustain on the closing basis then the up-move may strengthen and finally  moving up further its broad important resistance points could be at 25817---25917----25948----26013 and it may correct at any of these points and may resume the up-move  or halt it for a while, but if it moves above 26013 and sustain on the closing basis then it is likely that it could retest its all-time high of 26373.20 or may go beyond it. But it is important to mention here that to keep the hope of continued up move alive in the year—2026 it has to move above 26129.60----26173.30 and sustain on the closing basis and to get back into strong up-momentum track in the year—2026 it has to moves above 26325.80 and sustain on the closing basis, else it may start to drift down again. It is in the long term uptrend, but still into correction mode.

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. Almost all the important indicators such as EV, MACD, PS & VM is in the buy mode and RSI is neutral now, so it may witness up rally at times and may last too.

3. It is below 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 slight down-ward--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.

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 also below important key point, 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 above its short term rising trend line, which is placed at 25215(figure will change every day), it is a positive sign.

7. The price action was mixed today.

8. It is still below all its most critical 1^st make or break bottom of 25693.25 sustained close below it can drag it down faster.

9. It has broken its recent bottom on the line chart.

TRADING CALL: --

1. Long trade can be tried on decline near 25624 if it holds this point for some time then with a stop loss of 25550 or can buy if it moves above 25694 and maintain for some time then with a stop loss of 25600  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 25850---25925 with a stop loss of 25980 or can sell If it moves below 25610 and maintain for some time, then with a stop loss of 25720. 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.
