The Nifty 50 index ended the session on a cautious yet positive note, closing at 25,005.50, up by 32.40 points (+0.13%). The benchmark managed to defend the critical 25,000 zone despite volatile intraday movements. It recorded a day’s high of 25,037.30 and a low of 24,940.15, reflecting limited trading ranges as investors awaited fresh triggers.
Global Cues and Domestic Sentiment
Global equity markets remained mixed on Thursday, with cautious optimism around U.S. inflation data and upcoming Federal Reserve commentary. Indian equities mirrored this mood, as buying in financials and IT balanced out weakness in select FMCG and auto stocks. Analysts suggest that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained slightly cautious, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided support around the 24,950–25,000 levels.
Nifty 50 Forecast for September 12, 2025
As the index closed just above 25,000, the immediate outlook points to a continuation of range-bound moves unless fresh global or domestic catalysts emerge. Today’s session could witness mild volatility ahead of the weekend, with traders eyeing U.S. market cues and crude oil price movements.
Key Levels to Watch
- Support Zones: 24,940 – 24,880 remain crucial downside levels. A breach could trigger short-term profit booking.
- Resistance Zones: 25,080 – 25,150 stand as the next upside hurdles. Sustained buying above 25,150 could open the door for 25,300.
- Sentiment: Neutral to slightly positive, with sector-specific momentum likely to drive intraday moves.
What Traders Should Do
Short-term traders are advised to watch for breakouts above 25,080 for potential intraday gains, while positional investors may consider holding with a strict stop-loss around 24,880. Defensive sectors like IT and pharma could provide stability, whereas banking and auto may see selective momentum.
