Nifty today: Pre-market action: Here’s the trade setup for today’s session – News Air Insight

Equities ended lower on Tuesday, tracking weak global cues and foreign fund outflows. Meanwhile, optimism over India–US trade discussions resurfaced as New Delhi is set to hold talks with Washington this week and has reportedly agreed to boost imports of US energy and gas to address concerns over Russian oil purchases.

Analysts expect the market to remain range-bound, with global trends, FII flows, and Q2FY26 earnings likely to guide near-term direction. Key results due Wednesday include Axis Bank, HDFC Life, HDFC AMC, L&T Finance, HDB Financial, and Angel One.

STATE OF THE MARKETS

• Tech View: At present, Nifty appears to be consolidating within a range of 25,000–25,300, which are acting as key support and resistance levels respectively. A decisive breakout above 25,300 would be required to trigger the next leg of the up move.
• India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, rose 1.3% to settle at 11.16 levels.
