Pre-market Setup for Thursday: Things to know before opening bell

The market appears to be in a bearish trend, characterized by the formation of lower highs and lower lows. The Nifty50 recently broke below the 20-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and August lows, indicating a strong bearish sentiment in the market. Should the Nifty50 drop below 19,000, traders should closely monitor support levels around 18,800-18,900. On the upside, immediate resistance is at 19,300.

On October 25, the BSE Sensex witnessed a decline of 523 points, closing at 64,049, while the Nifty50 dropped by 160 points to 19,122. A significant bearish candlestick pattern suggests a sharp market decline, breaching immediate support levels at 19,300-19,250.

The short-term trend for the Nifty remains negative, with the index currently hovering near the weekly support on the long-term trendline at 19,120. While a minor upward bounce from levels around 19,100-19,000 is possible, a breakdown below 19,000 could potentially lead to further declines towards 18,600.

In the broader markets, the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices also experienced declines, albeit to a lesser extent compared to the benchmark indices.
