Below the Quote on Closing Market Summary 22nd December 2025 by Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited

"Indian equity markets ended the December 22, 2025 session on a strong note, despite bouts of intraday volatility and intermittent profit-booking. Benchmark indices managed to hold gains through the session, supported by broad-based buying. At the close, the Sensex surged 638.12 points, or 0.77 percent, to 85,567.48, while the Nifty advanced 206 points, or 0.79 percent, to settle at 26,172.40. Market breadth was firmly positive, with 2,601 stocks advancing, 1,363 declining, and 163 remaining unchanged, underscoring improved risk appetite.

The Nifty 50 opened on a strong note and spent the session consolidating above the 26,100 level, showcasing strength and sustainability at higher zones. This price action reflects buyers’ willingness to defend elevated levels rather than engage in aggressive profit-booking. Immediate resistance is placed in the 26,300–26,350 zone, while key supports are seen at 26,000–26,050. As long as the index maintains levels above 26,000, a selective buy-on-dips strategy remains favorable, with strict stop-loss discipline.

Bank Nifty also opened positively and moved higher to an intraday high of 59,371, after which it traded sideways while sustaining above the 59,200 mark, suggesting underlying strength and accumulation at support levels. This behavior indicates that dips are being absorbed by buyers, keeping the broader trend constructive. Immediate resistance is placed at 59,600–59,700, while supports at 59,000 and 59,100 remain critical to preserve near-term stability in banking stocks.

Volatility edged higher, with India VIX rising by 9.67 percent, reflecting a pickup in caution even as markets advanced. Derivatives data indicates aggressive call writing at the 26,200 strike, while strong put open interest at 26,100 reinforces the presence of a well-defined near-term trading range. A sustained close above 26,200 will be essential to extend bullish momentum, while failure to decisively cross this level may result in continued consolidation in the coming sessions."
