Nifty Prediction Today – February 12, 2026: Nifty futures: Important support ahead

Nifty 50 began today’s session with a gap-down at 25,907 versus yesterday’s close of 25,954. It slipped further after opening and is now hovering around 25,875, down 0.3 per cent.

The advance/decline ratio stands at 19/31, showing a bearish bias despite the index seeing an early decline. Shriram Finance (up 1.5 per cent) and State Bank of India (up 1.3 per cent) are the top gainers. On the other hand, Infosys (down 4.5 per cent) is the top loser followed by Wipro (down 4.2 per cent).

Notably, the top five losers in Nifty 50 are IT stocks at the moment. Consequently, Nifty IT (down 4.2 per cent) is the weakest sectoral index so far today followed by Nifty Realty (down 1.1 per cent). Nifty Financial Services (up 0.25 per cent) and Nifty PSU Bank (up 0.2 per cent) are the top performers.

The benchmark has been dragged down by IT stocks so far today. But the downside may be limited as there are support levels ahead. Below is an analysis of Nifty futures.

Nifty 50 futures

The February expiry Nifty futures opened today’s session lower at 25,950 versus yesterday’s close of 25,994. It is now trading at 25,920, down nearly 0.3 per cent.

The price action shows that the contract has a support at 25,900 followed by another one at 25,860. Therefore, so long as these levels hold, the chances for a rebound cannot be rejected.

A rally can take Nifty futures to 26,250 and possibly to 26,500. On the other hand, if the contract breaches the support at 25,860, the near-term outlook can turn weak. In such a case, it can decline to 25,750 and 25,600, which are potential support levels.

Trading strategy

Buy Nifty futures (February) at 25,900. Target and stop-loss can be 26,250 and 25,850 respectively.

If the above stop-loss for the long position is triggered and when Nifty futures has slipped decisively below 25,850, consider going short with a stop-loss at 25,920. Target can be 25,750.

Supports: 25,900 and 25,860

Resistance: 26,250 and 26,500
