Trade Setup for 12 December 2025 by Dhwani Patel

Trade setup for 12 december 2025

The markets staged a mild recovery in the previous session, supported by buying interest at lower levels, even as momentum indicators continued to show hesitation. Here’s a complete breakdown of the Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, options data, PCR, and India VIX to prepare you for the trading day ahead.

1) Nifty 50 – Key Levels (25,899)

Resistance (Pivot Points):

  • 25,926
  • 25,980
  • 26,068

Support (Pivot Points):

  • 25,750
  • 25,696
  • 25,609

Special Formation:

Nifty 50 formed a bullish candle with a long lower shadow, reflecting buying interest at dips. However, despite the recovery, the index remains below short-term EMAs (10 & 20) and below the midline of the Bollinger Bands, signaling caution.

  • RSI: Rose to 49.62 but still below the midpoint, indicating early but unconfirmed momentum.
  • MACD: Continues to stay below the signal line, though the histogram weakness is reducing.
  • Stochastic RSI: Close to a bullish breakout in the oversold region.

πŸ“Œ Interpretation:
Positive signs are emerging, but Nifty still needs confirmation before a decisive upside move unfolds.

2) Bank Nifty – Key Levels (59,210)

Resistance (Pivot Points):

  • 59,383
  • 59,530
  • 59,768

Support (Pivot Points):

  • 58,906
  • 58,759
  • 58,521

Fibonacci Levels:

  • Resistance: 59,466 / 60,887
  • Support: 58,641 / 58,290

Special Formation:

Bank Nifty printed a green candle with both shadows, recovering sharply from intraday lows, posting a 0.42% gain. This indicates renewed buying interest despite volatility.

  • Held above the 20-day EMA, a positive sign.
  • Still below the 10-day EMA and Bollinger midline.
  • RSI: Climbed to 55.78 but failed to cross the reference line.
  • MACD: Continues its bearish crossover with weak momentum.

πŸ“Œ Interpretation:
Bank Nifty shows a cautiously positive setup, but the lack of strong momentum suggests consolidation may continue.

  1. 26,000 strike – 1.06 crore OI
  2. 26,500 strike – 1.03 crore OI

  • 59,500 strike – 13.85 lakh

6) Bank Nifty Put Options Data

  • 59,500 strike – 16.2 lakh contracts
  • 59,000 strike – 12.54 lakh
  • 58,500 strike – 9.54 lakh

πŸ“Œ Interpretation:
Strong support is building at 59,500, making it a crucial level to watch.

7) Put-Call Ratio (PCR)

  • PCR jumped to 0.94 (previous: 0.73)

A rising PCR indicates improving bullish sentiment, as traders are writing more Puts than Calls.

8) India VIX – Volatility Index

  • VIX fell 4.7% to 10.4

Low and falling VIX signals comfort for bulls but also raises the potential for a sharp move in either direction due to compressed volatility.

Final Market Outlook for December 12, 2025

  • Nifty and Bank Nifty show early signs of positive momentum, but confirmation is still lacking.
  • Options data suggests strong support at lower bands, while heavy Call writing caps the upside.
  • Traders should remain cautious due to mixed signals from momentum indicators.

πŸ“ Bias:
Mildly Positive with Caution
