Nifty Prediction Today: What Traders Can Expect on 12 November 2025

Bajaj Broking highlighted that Nifty formed a sizable bullish candle on Tuesday, signaling continued buying interest for the third session in a row from the 50-day EMA. "Looking ahead, we expect the index to maintain positive bias and gradually head towards the immediate resistance at 25,850 and eventually towards the recent 52-week high of 26,100. On the downside, the support zone of 25,400-25,200 is likely to hold," the brokerage said.

The technical indicators support the bullish outlook, with buying interest picking up from the key support zone of 25,200-25,400. Bajaj Broking added, "The daily stochastic oscillator has recently given a fresh buy signal by crossing above its 3-period average after recovering from oversold levels, reinforcing the positive outlook."

Bank Nifty Outlook For 12 November 2025

Bank Nifty also displayed strength, trading within a range but forming a bullish candle with a long lower shadow, indicating sustained buying demand from the lower band of its recent consolidation.

"Going forward, the index is expected to maintain a positive bias and move towards the all-time high and the upper band of the recent consolidation zone around 58,577. A decisive move above this level could open the door for further upside towards 59,000 in the coming weeks. On the downside, the lower band of the consolidation range at 57,300-57,100, which coincides with the recent breakout zone and the 20-day EMA, is likely to act as a strong support area," Bajaj Broking noted.
