Trade setup for July 9: Top 15 things to know before the opening bells

09 Jul , 2025 By : Debdeep Gupta

The Nifty 50 saw an upside breakout from its recent rangebound action and finished the session with a 61-point gain on July 8, despite negative market breadth. The index sustained above short-term moving averages, with a positive crossover in momentum indicators and a breakout of the downward-sloping resistance trendline, indicating the possibility of a healthy trend. The 25,500 level is expected to be a crucial zone for the index in the upcoming sessions. If the index drops below this level, the 25,400–25,300 zone can act as support. However, if it holds above 25,500, a move toward 25,600–25,700 on the higher side can’t be ruled out, according to experts.
