Anticipated Nifty Trend for August 13, 2025: Bullish trend encountered by potential obstacle.
News Article: Bullish Outlook for Nifty 50 Futures on August 13, 2025
The Nifty 50 August futures are currently trading with a bullish bias, as indicated by technical indicators and premiums on futures over the spot index.
As of August 13, 2025, the Nifty August futures closed at 24,718.90, trading at a premium of 99.55 points to the spot Nifty 50 index at 24,619.35. This premium suggests positive market sentiment and expectation of further upward movement before expiry on August 28, 2025.
Technical analysis recommends buying Nifty futures with a stop-loss at 24,960 and targeting resistance levels of 25,245 and 25,350. The Nifty has been sustaining above the 21-day EMA for three sessions, with RSI showing bullish momentum. Support is recognized around 25,000–24,800, and the suggested strategy is to buy calls (e.g., 25,200 strike Call) above Rs 90 premium, with a stop loss at Rs 64, targeting Rs 140.
Intraday strategy also favors buying near-the-money call options (e.g., 24,600 CE) for upside exposure, reflecting a 45% probability of a higher close, with risk management for volatility spikes. Buying puts is considered less favorable due to the positive sentiment on that date.
The futures market has been trading at a premium over the spot price during early to mid-August 2025, indicating bullish positioning by traders.
On August 13, 2025, the Nifty 50 opened at 24,586, up from yesterday's close of 24,487. If Nifty futures drops from the current level or after rising to 24,750, it can slip to 24,500. The current trading price of Nifty 50 is around 24,590, up 0.4 per cent.
Among sectoral indices, Nifty Metal and Nifty Healthcare are the top performers, up 1.9 per cent and 1.2 per cent respectively. Apollo Hospitals and Enterprise are the top gainers, up 6 per cent and 4.3 per cent respectively. IndusInd Bank and Tech Mahindra are the top losers, down 0.7 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively. Nifty IT and Nifty FMCG are the only sectors in the red, down 0.1 per cent each.
From a trading perspective, one might want to wait for a breakout before jumping in. Support below 24,500 is at 24,420.
