EduInvesting.in | May 12, 2025 – 7PM Prep Edition
The Dow jumped over 1,000 points. The Nasdaq said “wait for me” with a +3.95% rally. India-Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire. And Nifty? It absolutely lost its mind.
We’re talking about a +917 point surge, closing at 24,924.70 — a number so close to 25,000 that even round-number fans were screaming “Bas thoda aur!”
Now comes the real question:
“Will Nifty crack 25K tomorrow, or was today’s rally just a sugar rush?”
Let’s break down the mood, the clues, and what to expect when the bell rings Tuesday morning.
🔥 Today’s Close (May 12, 2025)
| Index | Close | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 24,924.70 | +917.35 | +3.82% |
| Sensex | 82,517.62 | +2,777.58 | +3.48% |
| Bank Nifty | 56,682.10 | +1,540.60 | +2.79% |
That’s not a rally — that’s a bull stampede on Red Bull and tariff-truce headlines.
🧠 What Caused the Madness?
🌍 1. Global Euphoria
- Dow +1,033 pts, Nasdaq +708 pts – All thanks to a U.S.–China 90-day tariff ceasefire.
- Basically, Biden and Xi said, “Let’s chill,” and global markets lit up like Diwali.
🇮🇳 2. India–Pakistan Ceasefire
- A surprise geopolitical thaw boosted sentiment at home.
- Traders who were shorting defence stocks? Press F.
💸 3. FII & DII Buying Spree
| Segment | Net Buy (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|
| FIIs | +1,246.48 |
| DIIs | +1,448.37 |
Even mutual funds were like, “Yeh toh lena hi padega.”
📊 Technical Tea
- Bullish Marubozu candle on daily charts = strong trend confirmation
- RSI at 67.7 = strong momentum, but nearing overbought
- MACD Positive Crossover = the technicals are all saying: “Chalo 25K.”
📈 Key Levels for May 13
| Type | Level |
|---|---|
| Resistance | 25,000 → 25,099 → 25,315 |
| Support | 24,533 → 24,400 → 24,183 |
So yeah, the 25,000 level is now the Big Boss. Will it break on open? Probably. Will it hold intraday? That’s the real game.
🧨 Sectors to Watch Tomorrow
- IT & Tech → Riding Nasdaq’s coattails. Expect follow-through buying in TCS, Infosys, LTIMindtree.
- Banks → They participated but didn’t lead. ICICI & HDFC Bank could make or break Bank Nifty tomorrow.
- Defence & Infra → Post-ceasefire optimism and new budget commentary = eyes on BEL, HAL, L&T.
⚠️ What Could Go Wrong?
- Profit booking after Monday’s adrenaline shot
- U.S. CPI data releasing soon — rate hike ghosts may return
- If global cues cool off overnight, gap-up could turn into gap-trap real quick
🎯 EduInvesting Final Verdict
“The bulls pulled off a historic rally. But tomorrow? It’s all about proving it wasn’t just a one-night stand. If Nifty holds 25K with conviction, we’re in for a brand-new leg up. But if it wobbles and slips below 24,600, you’ll hear the words ‘bearish engulfing’ flying around faster than you can say ‘support level’.”
