Index Technical View | Market Outlook 5th September
As we step into today’s session, the technical picture suggests a mixed setup. SENSEX and NIFTY are showing signs of cautious optimism, while BANKNIFTY faces short-term pressure. Here’s a closer look according to Equitypandit analysis:
SENSEX | Market Outlook 5th September
SENSEX entered a positive trend in the last session, and the index is showing resilience above 80,345. Traders holding long positions can continue with a daily closing stoploss at 80,345, while fresh long entries are suggested only if the index sustains above this level.
The market could see momentum if SENSEX breaks through the first resistance zone. Investors should watch the mid-term trend, as surpassing 81,247 could ignite further upside.

- Support Levels:
- 80,399
- 80,080
- 79,551
- Resistance Levels:
- 81,247
- 81,776
- 82,095
- Tentative Range: 81,400 – 80,035
NIFTY | Market Outlook 5th September
NIFTY also remains in a positive trend, but yesterday’s cautious session shows that short-term profit booking can create volatility. Long positions can be maintained with a stoploss at 24,632 (daily close), while a breach below this level could invite short-term corrections.
Resistance levels around 24,907 – 25,180 will be key for bulls to test, while support zones will determine whether the market can hold its gains.

The near-term trend will be closely watched, as a sustained move above 54,360 could reverse the current weakness, while support zones around 53,881 – 53,403 will determine the downside risk.
