The NSE Nifty 50 has found support at 25,000 on the downside, followed by stronger support zones near 24,900–24,700, according to Hardik Matalia, derivative analyst at Choice Broking.
A decisive breach below these levels can intensify the decline. The Nifty formed a bearish engulfing candlestick, indicating a possible short-term reversal and building selling momentum, Matalia said.

On the upside, 25,250 is the immediate resistance, with a strong hurdle placed around 25,400–25,500. A decisive move above this zone can help the index regain its bullish trajectory, according to Matalia.
The Nifty found its immediate support level at its 50-day simple moving average of 25,000. Below 25,000, the chances of hitting 24,900-24,850 will increase, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research of Kotak Securities.
On the upside, a break above 25,200 can lead the market to retest the levels of 25,280. he said. "A successful breakout above 25,280 could push the market up to 25,350-25,425."
The Bank Nifty finds key short-term support at 56,000–55,500 and the broader trend remains positive, according to Bajaj Broking.
