Key Highlights:
Nifty 50 Today Prediction: Pre-Market Sentiment on April 25
Nifty 50 is poised for a strong opening today, April 25, 2025, after global cues turned sharply positive overnight. The Gift Nifty, which serves as an early indicator for the NSE Nifty 50 Index, rose by 267 points (+1.10%) to trade at 24,513.50, according to data from TradingView at 6:30 AM IST.
This significant pre-market gain suggests bullish sentiment driven largely by a stellar rally in U.S. markets, especially the Nasdaq Composite Index.
Nasdaq Rally Boosts Global Sentiment
On April 24 (U.S. market close), the Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 457.99 points (+2.74%) to close at 17,166.04. The rebound was powered by optimism in the tech sector and renewed risk appetite after recent profit booking.
Historically, a strong Nasdaq close often translates into positive momentum for Indian tech-heavy indices like Nifty 50, particularly during pre-market and opening trade hours.
Global Indicators Reinforce Positive Outlook
Despite the gains in the U.S., key Asian markets saw mixed performances on April 24. Here’s how they closed:
- Hang Seng Index: 21,909.76 (−0.74%)
- Kospi Index: 2,522.33 (−0.13%)
- TAIEX Index: 19,478.81 (−0.82%)
- Sensex: 79,801.43 (−0.39%)
- Nifty 50 (Previous Close): 24,246.70 (−0.34%)
Despite red closes across Asia, the uplift in U.S. indices and the 267-point spike in Gift Nifty create a divergence that may drive Indian indices upward at the open.
What This Means for Traders
- Upside Potential: Traders should prepare for a gap-up opening in Nifty 50 with early support likely around 24,400–24,450.
- Watch Levels: Resistance zones lie near 24,600–24,650, based on futures data.
- Sectors to Watch: Tech, IT services, and large-cap financials are expected to benefit the most from the overnight Nasdaq surge.
How to Take Action
If you’re an intraday trader or swing investor:
- Consider shortlisting IT majors, private banks, and auto stocks for early trades.
- Tighten stop-losses in case of volatility or profit-booking above 24,600.
Final Word: Nifty 50 Eyes Rebound with Nasdaq-Led Confidence
With Nifty 50 set to react to Gift Nifty’s powerful +1.10% spike and Wall Street’s overnight optimism, the Indian equity market could start the day on a strong note. While global indices remain cautiously mixed, early indicators point to a positive opening for the Nifty 50 on April 25, 2025.
