🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – August 20, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴
Climbing Above 25K, But With Shaky Conviction
🗞 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened flat but slipped 50+ points in the opening minutes, sliding below the CPR zone to mark the day’s low at 24,929.70.
A sharp recovery followed — breaking the day’s high and reaching PDC (Previous Day Close) — only to get rejected and pulled back toward the CPR BC.
This 60-point rollercoaster played out within just 30 minutes, setting a volatile tone.
Later, after crossing 24,995, the index faced resistance at 25,020–25,030. Gradual progress pushed Nifty to 25,063, where it hit a trendline hurdle. Despite multiple attempts, it couldn’t hold convincingly above it, and the day ended at 25,050.55 — marginally positive (+ 70 points), but with effort showing fatigue.
👉 Intraday action tells the story: every breakout lacked conviction, with sharp throwbacks. While Nifty somehow managed to hold above 25k, Bank Nifty stayed weak, stuck near VWAP and below CPR (negative bias).
With weekly expiry tomorrow, sustainability above 24,990–25,030 and breakout PDH in the first half could trigger a short-covering rally targeting 25,190–25,240.

💡 Final Thoughts
Nifty is grinding higher, but intraday volatility and failed follow-throughs highlight lack of conviction. For expiry, the 25,100 ceiling is crucial. A sustained move above could trigger short-covering firepower, while below 24,930, the downside gap-filling risk reopens.
