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

Support (Pivot Points):
- 25,750

- 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.
📌 Interpretation:
Positive signs are emerging, but Nifty still needs confirmation before a decisive upside move unfolds.

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.
