Nifty IT emerged as the top sectoral gainer on Monday, jumping over 3 per cent as all constituents traded in the green. The index has also broken out of an inverted head and shoulders-like pattern and is trading above key moving averages like the 20 and 50-DMA. With June seasonality historically favouring IT stocks, the index remains firmly in focus for the month ahead overall.
Indian equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 gave up part of their early gains on Monday, June 01, 2026. As of 9:56 am, the Sensex was trading higher by 0.16%, while the Nifty 50 was up 0.10%. India VIX cooled off slightly and traded near the 16 mark, indicating some moderation in market volatility.
While most sectoral indices were trading in the red, Nifty IT emerged as the clear outperformer. The index, which tracks the performance of major information technology companies listed in India, jumped over 3% in early trade.
This marked its sharpest single-day rally since May 19, 2026. All constituents of the Nifty IT index were trading in the green, with Persistent Systems and LTIMindtree among the top gainers.
On the technical front, the Nifty IT index has shown signs of a breakout from an inverted head and shoulders pattern. While the formation may not be a textbook setup, it closely resembles the structure of a bullish reversal pattern.
An inverted head and shoulders pattern usually appears near the end of a downtrend and indicates that selling pressure may be fading. It often signals the possibility of a trend reversal.
Adding to the positive setup, the index is currently trading above its 20-DMA and 50-DMA, which suggests improving short-term momentum.
Seasonality also appears to be supporting the Nifty IT index. Historically, June has been one of the strongest months for the index.
Since 2009, Nifty IT has delivered an average return of 2.65% in June, making it the second-best month for the index after December, which has posted an average return of 3.57%. The index has closed in the green 76 per cent of the time in June since 2009.
The recent track record has also been encouraging. Since 2020, Nifty IT has posted negative returns in June only once, in 2022. In all other years during this period, the index ended the month with gains. In June 2024, the index delivered its best June performance since 2009, rising 11.65%.

With favourable June seasonality, improving technical structure and a breakout-like formation on the charts, Nifty IT is likely to remain one of the key indices to track this month.

Nifty IT has started June on a strong note, supported by broad-based participation from its constituents, favourable seasonality and an improving chart structure. With the index trading above key moving averages and sector-specific developments adding momentum, IT could remain one of the most watched pockets on Dalal Street in June.
