In my previous analysis titled “Nifty Attempting to Close around 27,000+ in December 2025 Series“, I outlined the battle between Dominant Buyers at 25,800-25,850 and Dominant Sellers at 26,400-26,500, with 26,100 being the critical pivot zone. Today’s session has added significant weight to the bullish case.

What Friday’s Session Revealed

Friday’s price action delivered exactly what Market Profile traders look for: a Look Below the Balance and Fail pattern. This occurs when price probes below a balance area, finds no acceptance, and reverses sharply. It’s one of the most powerful signals in Auction Market Theory because it reveals where the real demand lies.

The session opened with a gap down, testing the resolve of buyers. Rather than capitulating, the market found aggressive buying interest, reversing course and closing with strength. This high confidence close is precisely what bulls needed to see.

The Critical Single Print Zone: 26,100-26,150

The single print area around 26,100-26,150 remains the key hurdle for bulls. Single prints represent areas of low volume and swift price movement — essentially, unfinished business in the market’s auction process.

For the bullish thesis to fully activate, we need to see acceptance above this zone — not just a spike through it, but sustained trading and value building. When single prints get filled with subsequent TPO activity, it signals that the market has accepted higher prices as fair value.

Turbo RSI Confirms Sentiment Shift

Adding to the bullish evidence, the Daily Trading Sentiment (Turbo RSI) has turned positive on Friday’s close. This indicator, which I use for gauging short-term sentiment shifts, aligns perfectly with the Market Profile structure we’re observing.

The combination of:

• Look Below and Fail pattern
• High confidence close
• Turbo RSI flipping positive

…creates a confluence that favors initiating positional longs with targets toward the all-time high and 27,000+ levels by year-end.

The Structural Setup: Why This Matters

Let me break down why the current structure is compelling from a Market Profile perspective:

Trading Plan: Positional Long Setup

Entry Confirmation

Look for sustained acceptance above 26,100-26,150. This means:

• Multiple TPOs printing above this zone
• Value area migrating higher
• No immediate rejection back into the balance

Potential Price Revisit Levels

1. 26,100-26,150: Immediate resistance (single print zone)
2. 26,500+: Weak High zone (first major revisit zone for the setup look below and fail setup)
3. 27,000+: Extended target for December series expiry

Invalidation Level

The thesis changes if price breaks below 25,800 (the AB Poor Low). This is where Dominant Buyers made their stand. A break below would suggest the buyers weren’t as strong as the structure indicated, requiring a fresh approach — likely bearish.

The Bigger Picture: Year-End Rally Potential

With the December series expiry approaching and the post-Fed risk-on environment still intact, the conditions are ripe for a year-end rally. The FII flows have shown signs of stabilization, and the global sentiment supports the buy-on-dips mentality.

If the market confirms acceptance above 26,100 early next week, the path toward 27,000 becomes increasingly probable. The unfinished auctions above (Poor High, Weak High) act as magnets for price once momentum builds.

Key Takeaways

• Sentiment Shift: Turbo RSI has turned positive, confirming the Look Below and Fail pattern
• Critical Zone: Watch for acceptance above 26,100-26,150 single print resistance
• Bullish Targets: 26,400 (Poor High) → 26,500 (Weak High) → 27,000+ (Dec expiry)
• Risk Level: Below 25,800 invalidates the bullish thesis
• Opportunity: Good setup for positional longs with proper risk management

Remember: This is a step-by-step confirmation trade, not a blind entry. Let the market prove itself above 26,100 before committing fully. The auction process will guide us – our job is to observe, interpret, and react.

Happy Trading!
