Market Minute | December 08, 2025
🚨Sell-off: Nifty under 26K, IndiGo crashes 8%, Realty & PSU Banks drag & What’s next inside!
Nifty 25,960.55 â–¼ -0.86%
Sensex 85,102.69 â–¼ -0.71%
Bank Nifty 59,238.55 â–¼ -0.90%
A rough start to the week: Market slips off highs!
The Nifty couldn’t defend the 26,000 mark, with an overwhelming 46 of 50 stocks ending in red. Selling pressure wasn’t limited to the frontline names, Broader markets took it even harder. The Midcap index logged its worst decline in 4 months.
Nifty’s inability to hold the 20-DEMA and the 26,000 zone shows a clear loss of short-term momentum. The index now has immediate support at 25,825, and a break below this could open the doors to a deeper corrective wave. Bank Nifty holds a similar structure, with the critical support zone at 58,650–58,800, while the Sensex faces a key floor near 84,785.
