🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – May 21, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴
🌀 The Dead Cat Bounces Effect After Yesterday's Quick Fall 🌀
Nifty opened with a 45-point gap-up and, within the first 10 minutes, that gap was filled—marking a low of 24692.65. From there, a sudden burst of buying pressure launched the index above the 24768–24800 resistance zone in just 25 minutes. This sharp move triggered a round of short covering, propelling Nifty to the day’s high of 24946.20.
As shared live on TradingView, the Fib resistance zone of 24930–24940 (0.764–0.786 levels) was a key level to watch. True to expectation, Nifty faced strong rejection from this zone, leading to a V-shaped reversal—wiping out all gains in the next hour and marking a new low of 24685.35.

It was a rollercoaster ride in the first half. Post this, Nifty traded mostly within the CPR’s Top Central (TC) and Bottom Central (BC) range—though this range itself was 104 points, keeping the session active and far from boring.
Nifty’s close at 24813, around the VWAP and Central CPR, suggests a temporary equilibrium between buyers and sellers. The good part? We closed above the critical 24768–24800 support-turned-resistance. But there's a catch—the close is below yesterday’s Fib 0.5 retracement, signaling potential caution.
⚠️ Cautionary Note:In the short-term, today’s session fits the textbook example of a Dead Cat Bounce. With weekly expiry tomorrow, it's wise to stay alert and not get trapped in noise. Discipline and patience will be key.
