Sensex, Nifty Today: Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened slightly higher on Friday, April 25, 2025, amid strong positive global cues as the Wall Street rally continued for the third day. The 30-share BSE Sensex gained 28.72 points to open at 79,830.15, while Nifty was up 42.3 points, starting the trading session at 24,289.00. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 79,801.43 and the Nifty 50 at 24,246.70. However, the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices traded in red during the opening trade.
According to experts, there is indecisiveness between the bulls and the bears at the moment.
"On the daily chart, an Inside Body candle formation is formed, indicating indecisiveness between the bulls and the bears. We believe the short-term market structure is bullish, but a fresh uptrend is possible only after the dismissal of the 24400/80300 resistance zone. Above this level, the market could rise towards 24500-24600/80600-80900. On the other hand, if the market drops below 24200/79600, we may see a quick intraday correction to 24100/79300. The decline may continue further, which may drag the market to 24000/79000," said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
From the Sensex pack, IndusInd Bank, ICICI Bank, Hindustan Unilever, TCS and Larsen & Turbo were in green in the opening trade, with IndusInd gaining 0.79 per cent.
