Friday, 9 October 2026 · Prepared before the regular session
Market setup
Indian equities ended Thursday under heavy pressure. The Nifty 50 closed at 22,231.80, down 371.25 points (1.64%), while the Sensex settled at 71,593.24, down 1,045.46 points (about 1.44%).
Pre-market tone is cautious to negative. Reports point to Brent crude above $104 a barrel, elevated US Treasury yields, a rupee near 96.8 per US dollar, continued foreign selling, and the RBI’s 25-basis-point repo-rate increase to 5.5% as key pressure points.
Levels and session checklist
- The Nifty closed below its reported 200-week EMA near 22,379; treat that area and 22,400–22,600 as overhead recovery tests.
- Watch Thursday’s low near 22,232. A break below it would need fresh confirmation; avoid assuming a floor before price action develops.
- Check GIFT Nifty, Asian markets and crude immediately before the open. Let the opening range settle, then watch whether price can reclaim and hold above resistance.
- Keep position size measured while volatility and headline risk remain elevated.
Astrology note: Friday is Venus-ruled. The Moon is in Virgo in Uttara Phalguni during the session, favouring methodical observation over rushed decisions. This is a general timing note, not a standalone market signal.
