Where is the market headed?
It has been a very good start to the November 2025 series. Before we talk markets, congratulations to our girls for lifting the maiden ICC World Cup — a wonderful way to begin the month!
The Indian markets also started November on a positive note. Though Nifty was only mildly up today and turned out to be the weakest among major indices, the rest of the market did really well. There was broad-based traction with strong gains in mid caps, small caps, and micro caps.
Barring IT and FMCG, almost every sector saw a healthy move. This shows continued optimism in the broader market, which is a very good sign because it means participation is spreading beyond a few large-cap names. Once there’s more clarity on the ongoing Indo-US trade negotiations, that could become a major tailwind for the markets.
Global cues were equally positive. US markets closed strong on Friday, and Japan’s Nikkei 225 has been on fire, recording its best month in decades. Asian indices opened well, helped by easing tensions between the US and China, which have boosted global sentiment.
Market Overview
As for today’s market, Nifty closed 0.16% higher at 25,763 after testing key support around 25,700. The index briefly dipped below that level early in the session but recovered smartly. Holding above this mark will be crucial in the near term.
Nifty Next 50
On the other hand, Nifty Next 50 surged 0.94% and is now testing resistance around 70,500. Once it breaks above this, we could see a strong rally, much like in previous cycles.
Nifty Mid and Small Cap
Midcaps and Small caps gained about 0.7–0.8%, showing good traction.
Bank Nifty
The Nifty Bank index rose 0.56% and seems to be consolidating after a big rally from late September.
GOLD
Gold and silver were flat today, taking a breather after strong runs in recent weeks.
SILVER
Advance Decline Ratio
Market breadth remained strong throughout the session with 334 stocks advancing against 166 declines, confirming that the broader market remains healthy.
Heat Maps
Among key movers, PSU banks, Real estate, and Capital markets sectors led the gains. The real estate index jumped 2.2% as strong earnings and new launches, especially from DLF, lifted sentiment.

U.S. Market
In the global markets, US indices like Nasdaq and S&P 500 have been performing well. Nasdaq continues to lead over one- and three-month periods.
Heavyweight stocks such as Amazon and Tesla were top gainers recently, but the concern remains that any weakness in these giants could impact broader sentiment.
Quick Insight
The quick insight for today focused on a powerful concept — “Simple but not easy.” A 75-year analysis of US bull and bear markets shows that while bull runs have been strong and long-lasting, bear markets have been short and shallow. Yet most investors fail to build wealth because they enter late out of FOMO and exit during corrections. Those who stay through the tough consolidation phases eventually reap the biggest rewards.
