🟢 Nifty EOD Analysis – May 2, 2025 (Friday)🔴

Another day... tug-of-war between buyers and sellers

📊 Nifty Summary
Another one-day tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. As usual, morning momentum — driven by buyers and short-covering — pushed the index into a bullish zone. However, profit booking and seller dominance dragged it back down, ultimately parking Nifty again in the 24,330 ~ 24,365 zone — now the 4th straight session closing within this narrow range.

Nifty opened on a bullish note at 24,311 and launched into a swift rally, breaching multiple resistance zones and clocking a new high at 24,589 within the first hour. However, the enthusiasm faded quickly. Sellers stepped in aggressively, and all the major support levels crumbled one by one. What started as a breakout turned into a breakdown.

The index drifted lower and spent the rest of the session stuck in a narrow zone of 24,330–24,365 — now for the fourth session in a row! The close at 24,346 reflects indecision and caution ahead of next week’s events.

📌 75 Min Time FrameChart


⏱️ Intraday 75-Min Time Frame Chart
📐 First two candles formed a bullish setup, but the third candle completely reversed the gains, forming an Inside Bar breakdown trap. The remaining candles failed to break out of the previous range, with momentum fading.

⚠️ A breakout (or breakdown) from this compression is now imminent — keep your eyes on the next session for direction.

📌 Daily Time FrameChart


🕯️ Daily Time Frame Chart & Candle Breakdown
📈 Today’s Candle Type: Spinning Top with long upper wick
🟢 Open: 24,311.90
🔺 High: 24,589.15
🔻 Low: 24,238.50
🔚 Close: 24,346.70
📊 Change: +12.50 (+0.05%)

🧠 Know Your Candle:
A Spinning Top reflects market indecision — the long wicks show strong attempts by both bulls and bears, but neither managed to dominate.

Upper Shadow: 242.45 pts → Strong selling from highs

Lower Shadow: 73.40 pts → Mild buying near lows

Real Body: 34.80 pts → Modest positive close

🔍 Interpretation:
Despite an early morning breakout, the close back in the congestion zone signals a lack of directional strength. The long upper wick reflects failure to hold higher ground — bias slightly tilting bearish unless this zone is broken with conviction.

🔮 What’s Next?
The bias remains neutral to slightly bearish. Despite a strong upside in the first hour, the repeated failure to sustain above 24,400 and four closes within 24,330–24,365 suggest exhaustion.
