Harami Cross at the Edge: Bulls and Bears Battle for the 25,600 Line.
🗞 Nifty Summary
The Nifty opened with a 60-point Gap Down, but buyers quickly intervened, filling the gap within minutes to test the 25,750 ~ 25,780 resistance zone. After multiple failed attempts to break out, the index slipped back toward the day’s low, finding temporary refuge at a bullish trendline.
A second recovery attempt successfully breached the IBH and the resistance zone, marking a day high of 25,791.75.
However, the joy was short-lived; a sharp rejection followed, snapping the trendline and dragging the index through the CDO and IBL. Nifty eventually tested the PDL (25,603) with precision, sparking a late 111-point bounce to close at 25,665.60.
The result is a Harami Cross pattern on the daily chart, signaling deep indecision as the index remains trapped within the previous day’s range.

🛡 Intraday Walk
Today was a theatre of high-octane drama. The charts show a relentless tug-of-war, with the index climbing and sliding sharply as both camps fought for dominance.
The rejection from the 25,790 area confirms that sellers are still heavily active at higher levels, but the “Double Bottom” effect near 25,600 (testing today’s low of 25,603.95 against yesterday’s 25,603.30) shows that bulls are not ready to surrender this psychological floor.
The intraday trendline failure at 1:30 PM was the pivotal moment for bears, while the final recovery from the PDL saved the bulls from a catastrophic breakdown.

🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown
Open: 25,648.55
High: 25,791.75
Low: 25,603.95
Close: 25,665.60
Change: −66.70 (−0.26%)
🏗️ Structure Breakdown
Type: Doji Candle (Harami Cross).
Range (High–Low): ≈ 188 points — moderate volatility.
Body: ≈ 17 points — weak directional conviction.
Upper Wick: ≈ 143 points — massive rejection from higher supply zones.
Lower Wick: ≈ 45 points — localized buying support near the PDL.
📚 Interpretation
The Harami Cross, appearing within the massive range of January 13, indicates a total standoff. The long upper wick (143 points) is the most telling feature, proving that every attempt to sustain above 25,750 is being met with aggressive selling. However, the fact that Nifty closed 15 points above its opening (CDO) and held the 25,600 support suggests a base is attempting to form.
🕯 Candle Type
Bearish Rejection / Indecision Candle — Highlights overhead supply; the market is coiling for a breakout from this Harami structure.

⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update
ATR: 211.39
IB Range: 123.15 → Medium
Market Structure: Balanced
Trade Highlights:
11:27 Long Trade: SL Hit (Bulls trapped during the failed IBH breakout).
13:32 Short Trade: Target Hit (R:R 1:2.59) (High-conviction Trendline Breakout).
14:23 Short Trade: SL Hit (V-shape bounce from PDL support).
Trade Summary: A mixed day for the strategy. While the 1:2.59 short trade perfectly captured the trendline collapse, the extreme volatility near the range extremes (IBH and IBL) resulted in two stop-loss hits. The net result remains protective in a non-trending “Balance” market.

🧠 Final Thoughts
“The 25,600 Line in the Sand holds... for now.”
Today confirmed that while the bulls have the heart to defend 25,600, they lack the lungs to climb past 25,800.
Today confirmed that while the bulls have the heart to defend 25,600, they lack the lungs to climb past 25,800.
We are officially in a “Squeeze” zone. The market is coiling, and the next directional move will be determined by a breakout from this tight “Harami Cross” structure.
For tomorrow, I’m watching the 25,600 level like a hawk; if it snaps, the floor is far below, but before that, bulls might attempt 25750 once again.
