Can US–Iran Peace Deal Hopes Spark A Nifty
Nifty Outlook: Can US–Iran Peace Deal Hopes Spark A Nifty, Bank Nifty Rebound Amid Consolidation?
Rising hopes of a potential de-escalation between the United States and Iran are emerging as a key near-term trigger for global markets, including India. Reports of backchannel talks and diplomatic efforts to stabilise tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, along with US assurances to secure shipping routes, have helped ease the geopolitical risk premium and cool crude oil prices from recent highs.
While a formal peace deal remains uncertain, any sustained de-escalation could support risk sentiment and provide a cushion to equity markets. Against this backdrop, the Nifty 50 may attempt a rebound from its recent consolidation phase, though the sustainability of the move will remain crucial.
On May 5, the Nifty 50 slipped 86.5 points (0.36%) to close at 24,033, while the Bank Nifty declined 331 points (0.60%) to 54,547. Market breadth remained weak, with 1,621 stocks declining versus 1,360 advancing on the NSE.
Aditya Thukral, Founder & Analyst at AT Research & Risk Managers, said the Nifty 50 has been trading in a narrow range between 24,350 and 23,800, forming a lower high–higher low structure on short-term charts. The contracting range indicates that the index is awaiting a decisive trigger for direction.
The index has been sustaining above the 20-day EMA but below the 50-day EMA over the past six sessions, reflecting sideways momentum. Although it remains below the 100-day and 200-day EMAs, improving market breadth suggests underlying strength. With early signs of recovery, selective buying opportunities may emerge in the near term.
From a derivatives perspective, positioning indicates expectations of range-bound movement, with call writers active at out-of-the-money strikes and put writers at in-the-money levels.
Key Resistance: 24,230, 24,335
Key Support: 23,930, 23,790
Strategy: Buy Nifty Futures above 24,150 with a stop-loss at 24,050, targeting 24,300–24,350.
Ashish Kyal, Founder and CEO of Waves Strategy Advisors, noted that the index is stuck in a sideways triangle pattern, indicating indecision. The 24,103 level is acting as a pivot, while falling implied volatility and tightening price action suggest a potential breakout.
However, unless the 24,290–23,790 range is decisively broken, the market may continue to give false signals. The daily RSI near 50 also reflects the absence of a clear trend.
Key Resistance: 24,290
Key Support: 23,790
Strategy: Go long above 24,090 for targets of 24,190 and 24,290, with a stop-loss at 23,990.
According to Aditya Thukral, Bank Nifty appears to have completed a corrective phase after stabilising near its previous swing low of 54,440. Short-term charts show early signs of a potential reversal, though the index continues to trade below key moving averages.
The presence of small-bodied candlesticks signals indecision, indicating the possibility of a counter-trend rally rather than a sustained decline. Derivatives positioning also suggests traders are not aggressively building fresh short positions at current levels.
Key Resistance: 55,020, 55,450
Key Support: 54,150, 53,700
Strategy: Buy Bank Nifty Futures on dips around 54,600 with a stop-loss at 54,300, targeting 55,200.
Ashish Kyal added that Bank Nifty has been forming lower highs and lower lows over the past two weeks, reflecting persistent selling pressure. A bearish MACD crossover on the daily chart—its first since late February—adds to near-term caution.
In the previous session, the index tested the crucial support zone around 54,200 and saw a sharp rebound. A break below this level could open downside toward 53,700, while a sustained move above 55,600 is required for a bullish shift.
Key Resistance: 55,600
Key Support: 54,200
Strategy: Initiate long positions above 54,650 with a stop-loss at 54,410, targeting 54,890 and 55,050.
