  • Nifty 50 Technical Analysis: RBI and FOMC decisions in focus

    Fundamental Overview

    The Nifty 50 recently hit a new all-time high before
    giving back some of the gains. The Indian stock market, like many others, is driven
    by global risk sentiment. But idiosyncratic factors can weigh on performance,
    nonetheless.

    The aggressive US tariffs have been one of the main
    negative factors for India this year. That hasn’t stopped the main upward trend
    but slowed down the momentum.

    On Friday, we have the RBI releasing their monetary
    policy decision where a 25 bps cut in the repo rate is expected. The central bank
    might also keep the rate steady, but the market will then focus on their
    forward guidance to see whether they change their stance from neutral back to accommodative.

    We have also the Fed releasing its policy decision
    next week, and there’s a risk of a hawkish cut that could weigh on global risk
    sentiment and negatively impact the Indian stock market too. If the Fed was to
    lean on the dovish side, it should keep the positive risk sentiment intact.

    Nifty 50 Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe

    On the daily chart, we can see
    that the Nifty
    50 briefly probed into a new all-time high before pulling back a bit. We have an
    upward trendline defining the bullish momentum and it should act as a support. We
    can expect the buyers to step in around these levels with a defined risk below
    the trendline to position for a rally into a new all-time high. The sellers, on
    the other hand, will want to see the price breaking lower to extend the pullback
    into the 25,317 level next.

    Nifty 50 Technical Analysis – 4 hour Timeframe

    On the 4 hour chart, we can see more
    clearly the support zone around the 25,900 level where we can find the
    confluence of the most recent swing low and the trendline. Again, this is where
    we can expect the buyers to step in to keep pushing into a new all-time high,
    while the sellers will look for a break lower to increase the bearish bets into
    the 25,317 level next.

    Nifty 50 Technical Analysis – 1 hour Timeframe

    On the 1 hour chart, there’s not much else we can add
    here as the buyers will look for longs around these levels, while the sellers
    will wait for a break to extend the drop into new lows.

    Upcoming Catalysts

    On Friday we have
    the Reserve Bank of India interest rate decision. Next week, we have the FOMC decision on Wednesday.

  • Can Bitcoin Bounce Back in 2026?

    The latest crypto market crash, with more than $1.2 trillion erased in the last 6 weeks, is the worst downturn crypto investors have experienced since 2022. Bitcoin, which posted an all-time high just recently, took the brunt of it, shedding more than 30% of its value and falling below $82k. This represents a seven-month low for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The rest of the market didn’t fare much better. Strategy has fallen 11% this week and traded near one-year lows. Metaplanet, Japan’s first and only publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company, lost almost 80% of its June peak, while Coinbase is set to post its longest losing streak in a month.

    Despite the grim reality of the situation, some experts are hopeful. Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, said on X: “This is the last time you’ll ever be able to buy bitcoin below $90K.” This statement hints at Bitcoin recovery in 2026 and possibly a new all-time high for BTC.

    Macroeconomic Pressures Behind the Current Slowdown

    Most analysts agree that the starting point for the latest crypto crash was October 10th, when more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours. This was the largest liquidation event in the history of the digital asset market. There are several reasons behind this, but the most likely culprit is the lack of liquidity due to rising interest rates across major economies. The selloff caused Bitcoin to slide, triggering automated liquidation events that accelerated the downturn and triggered widespread selling across major tokens and other assets.

    As several major Bitcoin ETFs went through massive outflows, the downward pressure increased and caused investors to start liquidating their positions. The result was a cascading decline resulting in a massive loss of value.

    Why a 2026 Recovery Is Still Possible

    Although the situation looks rather bleak at the moment, there are a few reasons to stay optimistic about the possible 2026 recovery for Bitcoin and the crypto market. Analysts expect central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, to eventually adopt a more dovish stance as inflation stabilizes and economic growth slows, which would increase liquidity and provide some favorable winds for risk assets like Bitcoin. Historically speaking, a shift toward lower interest rates correlates with stronger performance across crypto markets, because the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets decreases and speculative capital returns.

    At the same time, the post-halving supply dynamics continue to exert long-term pressure on available Bitcoin, and long-term holders have shown steady accumulation despite the recent downturn. If institutional investors stop ETF outflows and resume buying, the combination of dwindling supply and renewed demand could set the stage for a strong recovery in 2026.

    Risks That Could Prevent a Rebound

    One of the risks the crypto market faces in both the short and long term is security. Despite increasing security measures, we are witnessing attacks that steal hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Just this year, Bybit crypto exchange lost 400,000 ETH worth $1.4B within minutes when hackers exploited a private key leak in Bybit’s hot wallet system to siphon off the funds. This is why there is mounting pressure to increase the security of wallets and other storage devices.

    Another risk that could jeopardize Bitcoin recovery includes slower regulatory response. If government agencies fail to react in a timely manner, access to the capital needed to fund the recovery may lag, derailing the whole process. Coupled with persistent inflation, this could push recovery all the way to 2027.

    Conclusion

    Bitcoin has a clear path to recovery in 2026, but there is no guarantee. The process, supported by historical data about the market cycles, can just as easily be delayed due to a number of reasons. While most investors remain cautiously optimistic about BTC rebounding next year, the truth is that not many of them are ready to gamble on it this early.
