Nifty Prediction Today – February 17, 2026: Nifty 50 Futures: Can go higher. Go long

Nifty 50 has risen back well after making a low of 25,570.30 in the early trades. The index is currently trading flat at 25,672. The advances/declines ratio is at 25:25. This gives a mixed picture. It indicates that the market could go either way from here. We will have to wait and watch.

Nifty 50 Outlook

Intraday supports are at 25,630 and 25,560. As long as the index stays above these supports, the bias will stay positive. Nifty 50 can rise to test its resistance at 25,750. A break above it can boost the momentum. Such a break will then clear the way for a rise to 25,900 and higher levels going forward.

The level of 25,530 is a lower and important support to watch. Nifty will come under selling pressure only if it breaks below this support. If that happens, a fall to 25,450 can be seen.

Nifty 50 Futures

The Nifty 50 February Futures (25,702) has recovered almost all the loss after making a low of 25,582 in the early trades.

Immediate support is at 25,670. Below that cluster of supports are there in the 25,650-25,600 region. The contract can rise to 25,770-25,800 during the day. Such a rise will keep the upside open to see 26,000 and higher levels in the coming days.

The contract has to fall below 25,600 in order to come under renewed pressure. If that happens, a fall to 25,400-25,300 can be seen.

Trade Strategy

Traders can go long now at 25,702. Accumualte on dips at 25,660. Keep the stop-loss at 25,630 initially. Trail the stop-loss up to 25,725 as soon as the contract goes up to 25,745. Revise the stop-loss higher to 25,740 when the contract touches 25,760.  Exit the longs at 25,780.
