The Indian stock market is expected to trade cautiously on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, as investors remain watchful ahead of the monthly derivatives expiry.
After a volatile session on Monday, profit booking at higher levels and ongoing concerns over interest rates, foreign fund outflows, and global trade developments are likely to keep the benchmark indices in a narrow range.

Nifty Prediction Today, 25 November 2025
According to Bajaj Broking Research, “Nifty has formed a sizable bear candle with a lower high and lower low, signaling extension of profit booking for the second session in a row at higher levels. Going ahead, the index is expected to consolidate in the range of 25,700-26,277, forming a base for the next leg of the upmove.”
The brokerage added that short-term support is placed around 25,600-25,800, coinciding with the 50-day EMA and the lower band of the two-month rising channel. “We expect the index to hold above the same, hence the current breather should be used to accumulate quality mid and large-cap stocks in a staggered manner,” it said.
Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivative Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd, noted, “The Nifty index opened on a positive note, witnessed heavy profit booking, and eventually settled the session on a bearish note at 25,960. Technically, on the daily chart, Nifty formed a big bearish candle, indicating weakness. As long as the index remains below 26,280, weakness is likely to persist. On the downside, support for Nifty is placed around 25,800 and 25,710. Short-term traders are advised to keep booking profits on any bounce as long as Nifty holds below 26,280.”
Bank Nifty Outlook Today
Bank Nifty also saw profit booking on Monday. Bajaj Broking Research said, “Bank Nifty formed a bearish candle with a lower high and lower low, highlighting the extension of profit booking for the second session in a row. The index is consolidating above the recent range breakout area of 57,300-58,500. Overall bias remains positive above this breakout zone. We expect Bank Nifty to retain its momentum and move towards 59,800 in the coming weeks. The 58,000-58,200 zone is likely to act as crucial support.”
