Market Recap: Strong Rally in the Previous Session
Indian benchmark indices delivered a robust performance, closing decisively above the 26,150 mark. The rally was supported by renewed foreign institutional investor inflows and rising optimism surrounding potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Sensex surged 638.12 points (0.77%) to 85,567.48
Nifty gained 206 points (0.79%) to close at 26,172.40
Market participation was broad-based:
IT, Chemicals, and Metals led the gains
Consumer Durables was the only sector to underperform
The broader market also outperformed, with:
Nifty Midcap rising 0.84%
Nifty Smallcap gaining 1.17%, highlighting strong market breadth
The index formed a strong bullish candlestick pattern, marking a higher high and higher low. This move confirms a continuation of the uptrend after a breakout above the falling trendline connecting recent highs.
Nifty has extended gains for the third consecutive session and is likely to move toward the upper band of the last three-week range near 26,300.
A sustained close above 26,300 could open the door for further upside toward 26,500.
Immediate support lies near the 26,000 gap-up zone. Holding above this level keeps the bias positive.
Additional short-term support is seen around 25,700–25,800.
Resistance: 26,250 | 26,330
Support: 26,120 | 26,050
Resistance: 59,530 | 59,750
Support: 59,070 | 58,800
