The Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started the session in the red on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, amid mixed global cues. While the 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 153.13 points to start the session at 84,625.71, the Nifty fell 26.10 points to open at 25,939.95. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 84,778.84 and the Nifty 50 at 25,966.05. However, the broader indices traded in the green in the opening session.

“For day traders, 25,900/84500 would act as an immediate support zone. As long as the market trades above this level, the bullish trend is likely to continue. On the higher side, it could retest the 26,100/85000 level. On the other hand, below 25,900/84500, we may see a quick intraday correction towards 25,800-25,750/84200-84000. Expect a short covering trend above the level of 26100,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
