Indian equity markets concluded the session on February 25, 2026, on a largely flat note, as volatility and uncertainty dominated trading. The Sensex ended higher by 50.15 points (0.06%) at 82,276.07, while the Nifty 50 added 57.85 points (0.23%) to close at 25,482.50. The Bank Nifty also finished almost unchanged, declining marginally by 3.95 points (0.01%) to settle at 61,043.35.

The Nifty 50 ended the session on a volatile but mildly positive note. It opened higher by about 55 points and moved up strongly in the first half, hitting a day’s high near 25,652. Selling pressure in the second half erased most gains, dragging the index down nearly 220 points to an intraday low of around 25,428. It finally closed at 25,482, up 57 points, reflecting market indecision. Resistance lies at 25,600–25,650, support at 25,300–25,350, while the RSI at 46.77 signals neutral momentum with a slight bearish bias.

Bank Nifty started the day on a positive footing and continued its upward move to an intraday high of 61,317.55. This rally was followed by a sharp correction of nearly 500 points, taking the index down to a day’s low of 60,816.75, indicating selling pressure at higher levels. A modest rebound in the latter half helped the index recover part of its losses, but it still closed at 61,043.35 with a marginal decline of 3.95 points, reflecting consolidation and indecision. Resistance is located at 61,300–61,400, while support is placed at 60,700–60,800. The RSI at 57.09 continues to indicate positive momentum.

Volatility in the broader market eased, with India VIX declining 4.86% to 13.48, signaling reduced short-term risk perception and calmer market conditions. In the derivatives segment, heavy put writing at the 25,500 strike and strong call writing at the 25,600 strike point to a tight range-bound structure and ongoing consolidation for the Nifty. Traders are advised to remain cautious near key support zones and wait for a clear breakout above resistance levels before taking fresh directional positions.
