As of January 19, 2026 (market close), the Nifty 50 closed at 25,585.50, down 108.85 points or -0.42% for the day.

Today's Session Highlights

• Open: 25,653.10
• High: 25,653.30
• Low: 25,494.35
• The index saw selling pressure throughout the day, influenced by disappointing Q3 results from heavyweights like Reliance Industries (which dropped significantly), along with weakness in sectors like energy, realty, and select financials.
• Broader market sentiment was cautious due to ongoing global trade uncertainties and FII outflows.

Recent Trend Overview

The Nifty 50 has been in a short-term corrective/consolidation phase since hitting its all-time high of 26,373.20 earlier in January 2026.

Here's a quick performance snapshot:

• 1 day — -0.42%
• 5 days — -0.25% (mild decline)
• 1 month — -1.26%
• Year-to-date (2026) — -2.25% (from early January highs)
• 1 year — +9.92% (solid long-term gain despite recent pullback)
• 52-week range — 21,743.65 (low) to 26,373.20 (high)

The index has pulled back roughly 3% from its January peak, trading in a broad range around 25,500–25,900 recently.

Longer-Term Context

• 2025 was a modest year for Nifty (~10% returns), underperforming many global peers due to earnings slowdowns, high valuations earlier, and heavy FII selling (~$18B outflows).
• 2026 started strong with record highs in early January, but has since corrected amid global tariff concerns and profit booking.
• Many analysts remain optimistic for the medium term, expecting potential recovery driven by supportive policies, rate cuts, and improving domestic growth.

Overall, the current trend is short-term bearish/neutral (consolidation with downside bias), but the broader uptrend from 2025 remains intact unless we see a decisive break below key supports around 25,450–25,300.
