Muhurat Trading News: The Nifty's ability to hold above the 25,000 mark offered some comfort to investors entering the new market year. Read full report here

Gaurav Garg, Head  - Research, Lemonn

Indian equity markets witnessed a largely range-bound session during Muhurat Trading, marking the beginning of Samvat 2083 on a mixed note. The Nifty 50 closed marginally lower by 0.03% at 25,023.70, while the Sensex ended in mild positive territory, gaining 0.10% to settle at 81,109.86. Despite the mixed closing, the Nifty managed to hold above the psychologically important 25,000 mark, indicating some resilience after the recent rally. 

Overall, the session reflected cautious optimism rather than aggressive buying, with investors maintaining a selective approach. As the new Samvat year begins, market direction will depend on corporate earnings, domestic growth, foreign fund flows, global developments and crude oil movements. Investors should remain focused on fundamentally strong businesses and disciplined investment strategies. The Muhurat session may have ended on a mixed note, but it marks a fresh beginning for investors as they look ahead to opportunities in Samvat 2083.

The closing auction will be conducted between 3:15 pm and 3:35 pm. For non-CAS securities, the closing session is scheduled from 3:30 pm to 3:50 pm. The closing buffer period for CAS securities will run from 3:35 pm to 3:50 pm, followed by the post-closing session between 3:50 pm and 4 pm.

Muhurat Trading LIVE: With the special Diwali trading session witnessing sharp stock-specific moves, all eyes are on whether the Sensex and Nifty will close in the green for the ninth consecutive year. Both benchmark indices have ended higher during the Muhurat trading session every year since 2018.

The Nifty 50 was trading 0.03 per cent lower, while the BSE Sensex was up 0.12 per cent at the time of writing. The closing levels will determine whether the benchmarks maintain their eight-year winning streak.

The market structure remains robust with Nifty decisively breaking above its previous swing high of 24,800 to close on a strong note.

 This zone now shifts to an important immediate support level. The broader momentum continues to be anchored by banking heavyweights, with Bank Nifty similarly clearing its crucial resistance at 58,700. 

While the overall bias remains firmly bullish, offering favorable buying opportunities on pullbacks, investors must exercise discipline, parabolic moves often trigger equally sharp retracements. 

Rather than chasing stretched prices, focus on managing risk while targeting market leaders in capital markets, IT, pharmaceuticals and banks

Among the broader market indices, the Nifty 100 recorded the strongest performance, climbing more than 1%. However, gains across the wider market remained uneven.

As investors prepare to enter Samvat 2083 following the recent market rally, global economic developments and changing investor sentiment are expected to play a significant role in determining the near-term trend of Indian equities.

Muhurat Trading LIVE Updates: Historically, the Nifty has tended to open with a gap-up during Muhurat trading, move higher initially and then trade within a narrow range until the close.

Analysts expect a similar pattern this time, with the index potentially moving towards 25,100. However, thin trading volumes and overbought technical indicators could limit further gains.

Investors are advised to avoid chasing stocks after the recent rally and instead use market corrections to build long-term positions.

Muhurat Trading LIVE Updates: People who bought gold in Delhi at its January peak have seen a smaller decline in its value compared with buyers in international markets such as London and New York.

Global spot gold prices closed at $4,068.71 per ounce on Friday, around 24% lower than the record closing price of $5,379 recorded on January 29, 2026.

In Delhi, however, the decline was relatively smaller. According to the All India Sarafa Association, the price of 99.9% pure gold stood at Rs 1,46,300 per 10 grams on Dhanteras. This compares with its record high of Rs 1,83,000 per 10 grams on January 29, marking a fall of approximately 20%.

As a result, gold buyers in Delhi who purchased the metal at its January peak have faced a comparatively smaller price decline than those who bought it in overseas markets.

Muhurat trading is one of the most beautiful traditions in Indian markets. Just think about how we get ready for Diwali. We clean the house to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. Then we invest in something small but meaningful on Dhanteras. We light a diya for a bright year ahead.

Similarly, muhurat trading is one such Indian tradition for all smart investors to consider. In the days before the session, clean your portfolio. Exit what no longer fits your goals and rebalance what has drifted. Then, during muhurat trading, buy something already on your long-term watchlist for shagun. And finally, use the auspicious mood of the festival to setbuild correct financial routines for Samvat 2083: it could be a monthly investment amount or a rule for what you will do when markets fall!

This way, if you carry that spirit into the next 364 days, the Muhurat will have done its job.

According to the exchange circulars, trading members will be allowed to log in between 1:15 pm and 1:50 pm, followed by the block deal window from 1:50 pm to 2:05 pm.
