Markets poised for momentum shift as time cycles point to a key turning day on October 17: Harshubh Shah

Indian equities continued their winning streak, closing in the green for the second consecutive week, as investors found comfort in easing FPI selling pressure and renewed momentum in domestic markets.

Despite lingering global uncertainties, the sentiment improved notably during the week, setting a constructive tone for the near term.

The most encouraging sign came from the foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who had been net sellers for several months but turned net buyers in the cash market. The total FII net buying figure stood at Rs 3,289 crore over the last four trading sessions, suggesting that global investors may be regaining confidence in Indian equities.

This moderation in outflows has provided much-needed stability to the broader market, particularly after a volatile start to October.

In our previous weekly outlook, we had highlighted October 6, 7, and 9 as key dates likely to bring elevated volatility—and that prediction played out well. This kind of price action reinforces the importance of time-based analysis in identifying potential turning points in market momentum.

Key Time Clusters for the Week (Oct 13 – 17, 2025)

As we move into the coming week, traders should watch for the following intraday time clusters, which often coincide with short-term market reversals or momentum shifts:

Monday, Oct 13: 9:20 am – 11:10 am · 12:35 pm · 2:40 pm

Tuesday, Oct 14: 10:35 am – 1:05 pm · 3:00 pm

Wednesday, Oct 15: 10:30 am – 12:10 pm · 1:30 pm · 1:55 pm

Thursday, Oct 16: 9:45 am – 10:35 am · 12:30 pm · 2:05 pm

Friday, Oct 17: 11:10 am · 1:20 pm

These time clusters are derived from cyclical studies and have historically indicated potential zones of intraday reversals or directional accelerations.

Nifty (Spot) Support & Resistance Levels

Resistance: 25,322 · 25,434 · 25,566 · 25,710
Support: 25,145 · 25,080 · 25,035 · 25,001 · 24,856 · 24,806 · 24,688

Trading Outlook for the Week

The upcoming week could witness heightened momentum, particularly around Friday, October 17, as key time cycles converge.

Traders are advised to remain vigilant and flexible, adjusting positions dynamically in response to the unfolding price action. As intraday volatility may expand toward the weekend, managing risk through stop losses and position sizing will be crucial.

Overall, the technical structure of the market remains positive, with dips likely to attract buying interest.

Sustained FII inflows and strong domestic participation could help Nifty move toward higher resistance levels in the coming sessions.
