News Topical, Digital Desk : Share Market Outlook: Next week, between February 23rd and 27th, the stock market's performance will be different from usual. On Friday, the US Supreme Court struck down Trump's global tariffs. The US market welcomed this decision. Its positive impact could be seen in India as well. Let's learn from experts how the market will behave next week.

Indian equity markets had a volatile but structurally stable week from February 16-20, 2026. The week started on a strong note, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 gaining around 0.8% on Monday, supported by buying in financial, energy, power, and pharma stocks amid positive global cues. Positive momentum extended slightly into Tuesday and Wednesday.

However, massive profit booking, geopolitical tensions, and FII outflows led to a sharp correction on Thursday, dragging the Sensex down nearly 1.5% and the Nifty down over 1.4%. On Friday, the indexes recovered slightly, led by PSU bank, metal, and power stocks.

Overall, benchmarks closed the week with modest gains of around 0.2–0.4%, while broader markets were mixed as investors tried to balance domestic strength against global uncertainties.

What will be the important level for Nifty between 23rd to 27th February?

Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager, Equity Research, Anand Rathi Group, told Jagran Business that technically, after failing to sustain above the 26,000-resistance zone, Nifty entered a corrective and volatile phase. The index initially moved towards 25,900 but faced selling pressure, leading it to a new short-term low near  25,350 .

The 25,350–25,900 range now becomes crucial for the next directional move. Immediate support is at 25,350–25,400. A significant break below this could trigger a sharp sell-off towards the 25,100 gap-fill zone.

On the upside, 25,800–26,000 remains a strong resistance band, and only a sustained breakout above this zone can resume the bullish momentum.

Momentum indicators on shorter timeframes suggest that the correction is maturing, with early signs of a sell-off. Until a significant downside trigger emerges, the broader bias remains cautiously bullish.

Nifty Support: 25,300 – 25,100
Resistance: 25,900 – 26,400

What did experts say about the movement of NIFTY Bank?

Jigar S. Patel, commenting on Nifty Bank, said, "Nifty Bank formed a base near 59,900 and bounced back towards 61,600, but selling pressure at higher levels kept it range-bound. The 61,500–62,000 zone remains a major resistance, while 59,800–60,000 remains a key support. A major breakout on either side will determine the next trend direction."
