Despite persistent global uncertainties, sentiment improved significantly throughout the week, setting a constructive tone for the short term.
The most encouraging sign came from foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who had been net sellers for several months but turned net buyers in the cash market. The FII’s total net buying figure stood at Rs 3,289 crore in the last four trading sessions, indicating that global investors may be regaining confidence in Indian equities.
This moderation in outflows has provided much-needed stability to the broader market, especially after a volatile start to October.
In our previous weekly outlook, we had highlighted October 6, 7 and 9 as key dates likely to lead to increased volatility – and that prediction came true. This type of price action reinforces the importance of time-based analysis in identifying potential turning points in market momentum.
Main time clusters for the week (October 13 – 17, 2025)
As we move into the week ahead, traders should pay attention to the following intraday time clusters, which often coincide with short-term market reversals or momentum shifts:
Monday, Oct 13: 9:20 am – 11:10 am · 12:35 pm · 2:40 pm
Tuesday, Oct 14: 10:35 AM – 1:05 PM · 3:00 PM
Wednesday, Oct 15: 10:30 AM – 12:10 PM · 1:30 PM · 1:55 PM
Thursday, Oct. 16: 9:45 a.m. – 10:35 a.m. · 12:30 p.m. · 2:05 p.m.
Friday, Oct 17: 11:10am · 1:20pm
These time clusters are derived from cyclical studies and have historically indicated potential zones of intraday reversals or directional accelerations.
Useful (Spot) Support and Resistance Levels
Resistance: 25,322 25,434 25,566 25,710
Support: 25,145 · 25,080 · 25,035 · 25,001 · 24,856 · 24,806 · 24,688
Trade outlook for the week
Momentum could pick up in the coming week, especially around Friday, October 17, as major time cycles converge.
Traders are advised to remain vigilant and flexible and dynamically adjust their positions in response to the unfolding price action. As intraday volatility may increase towards the weekend, managing risk through stop-losses and position sizing will be critical.
Overall, the technical structure of the market remains positive, with dips likely to attract buying interest.
Continued FII inflows and strong domestic participation could help Nifty move towards higher resistance levels in the coming sessions.
