Diwali Stock Market Muhurat Trading 2025: The domestic equity market kick-started the Samvat 2082 on a positive note, with both the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty rising marginally. In the special one-hour Muhurat trading session that concluded at 2:45 pm, the BSE Sensex rose 62.97 points or 0.07% to close at 84,426.34. The NSE Nifty ended the day with a gain of 25.45 points or 0.01% to close above the 25,850 mark at 25,868.60.

In the broader markets, the BSE Midcap and the BSE Smallcap rose 0.23% and 0.91%, respectively.

Almost all sectors were in green. Only financials and realty saw marginal losses.

Among the 4,178 stocks traded on the BSE, a total of 3,026 stocks saw advances, while 951 saw declines. A total of 201 were unchanged.

Moreover, 174 stocks traded at their 52-week high levels, while 42 were at 52-week lows.

A total of 239 stocks hit the upper circuit on the BSE, whereas 89 fell to hit the lower circuit.

“Indian markets ended the special one-hour Diwali Muhurat trading session on a muted yet resilient note, with both the Nifty and the Bank Nifty consolidating near their recent highs. The Nifty 50 closed almost flat, holding steady after a strong multi-day rally. Despite lighter volumes and bouts of mild profit booking, the index maintained its footing well above key short-term supports, underscoring firm underlying momentum and continued investor confidence,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

Technically, the structure remains bullish as long as Nifty sustains above 25,800, with 25,750 acting as immediate support. On the downside, 25,600–25,500 serves as a key support band, while a decisive breakout above 26,000–26,300 could lead to fresh lifetime highs. The broader sentiment stays positive, supported by robust Q2 earnings, festive liquidity, and steady foreign institutional inflows, he added.

Technical Analysis

“The Nifty 50 open interest data for the October 28 expiry reflects a balanced yet cautiously bullish setup. Total Call OI stands at 13.60 crore against 13.51 crore in Puts (PCR at 1.00), indicating a largely neutral stance with a mild positive bias. Fresh additions of 2.93 crore in Calls and 2.14 crore in Puts suggest traders are hedging near-term volatility while retaining a bullish undertone. Strong Put bases at 25,600–25,700 offer firm downside support, while heavy Call writing at 26,000–26,200 defines a key resistance zone,” Ponmudi R said.

He added that the Bank Nifty ended marginally lower at 58,007, cooling off after a strong rally that pushed the index into its multi-month resistance zone. It now faces a key supply area between 57,900 and 58,200, a zone that previously acted as a ceiling during the June–July period. The day’s candle, showing a mild upper shadow, signals short-term profit-booking, though the broader trend remains firmly bullish. A sustained close above 58,250 could confirm a breakout and open the door toward 58,800–59,200, while 57,600–57,400 will act as the immediate support range.
