Markets staged a rebound after yesterday’s dip, gaining nearly half a percent and continuing their consolidation phase. After an initial whipsaw, the Nifty index witnessed steady upward momentum led by buying in heavyweights across sectors and finally settled at 25,181.80. Sectorally, all major indices contributed to the move, with metals, IT, and pharma among the top gainers. Market breadth also remained positive, supported by noticeable interest in midcap and smallcap stocks.

The up move was largely driven by positive global cues, particularly strong overnight gains in AI-linked U.S. tech stocks and buoyant Asian markets. Additionally, the continued recovery in IT counters ahead of TCS results boosted domestic sentiment. The pause in foreign outflows further eased investor concerns, reflecting confidence in India’s earnings resilience despite global uncertainties.

After three days of consolidation, indications now suggest potential trend resumption. However, a decisive breakout above 25,200 would confirm the move, with upside targets seen at 25,400 and 25,650 levels. On the downside, a break below 24,950 may derail the positive tone and extend the consolidation phase. Amid this setup, traders should focus on identifying sectoral outperformers and use intermediate dips to accumulate quality names.

The domestic market showed gains amid Q2 results, while metals indices outperformed, led by an uptick in base metal prices. The Q2FY26 earnings season is expected to be modest due to a muted expectation on sectors like finance and export oriented sectors like IT and pharma. However, the overall environment is forecast to reverse strongly in H2FY26, helped by a rebound in domestic demand.

Despite muted earnings expectations, the IT index moved higher as investors took comfort in attractive valuations—currently below long-term averages—and a constructive long-term outlook supported by signs of recovery in the US economy.

Indian equities witnessed a positive session today, with the BSE Sensex closing around 82,172, up nearly 0.49%, led by buying in IT, metals, and select auto names. The broader market sentiment remained upbeat, supported by firm global cues and expectations of steady Q2 earnings. IT stocks extended gains ahead of key results, reflecting optimism around demand recovery, while metal counters strengthened on higher global commodity prices.

On the other hand, banking and financials saw mild profit booking after recent outperformance. The market breadth remained healthy, indicating sustained domestic participation even as foreign flows stayed mixed. With global markets stabilizing and volatility easing, investors appear to be shifting focus towards fundamentally strong sectors. Going forward, market direction will hinge on earnings announcements and commentary from managements, especially in consumption and financial segments. We expect the near-term trend to stay range-bound with a positive bias, supported by resilient domestic macro fundamentals.

On Thursday, the benchmark index Nifty closed on a firm note, settling at 25182, marking a gain of 0.54%. The index formed a bullish candle pattern, signalling renewed buying interest after recent hesitation.

What stands out is that this was the highest closing level in the last two trading sessions, reflecting a shift in sentiment. Importantly, the index has partially invalidated the previous two sessions' bearish setup, which was characterized by small-bodied candles with long upper shadows—a sign of intraday selling pressure.

This positive close suggests that bulls are attempting to regain control, though follow-through in the coming sessions will be crucial to confirm sustained momentum.

Among the Nifty constituents, Tata Steel and JSW Steel emerged as the top gainers, reflecting strong momentum in the metal space. On the flip side, Axis Bank and Titan were the notable laggards of the day. A key highlight of Thursday’s session was the broad-based participation, with all sectoral indices closing in the green. Nifty Metal, Nifty IT, and Nifty Healthcare led the charge, indicating strength across cyclical and defensive pockets alike.

The broader markets outperformed their frontline peers by a wide margin. Both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices posted robust gains, underlining strong interest in the broader universe. Market breadth remained firmly positive, with the Advance/Decline ratio skewed in favor of advancers. From the Nifty 500 basket, 296 stocks ended the session in the green, reinforcing the bullish undertone.

Nifty View

The benchmark index Nifty posted a strong performance on Thursday, forming a sizeable bullish candle on the daily chart. This move has effectively negated the bearish formations seen over the previous two sessions, which were marked by indecision and selling pressure at higher levels.

Technically, the index is trading above its key moving averages, reinforcing the underlying strength and suggesting that the short-term trend remains positive. Adding to the bullish sentiment, the RSI is currently quoting at 58.03 and is in a rising trajectory, indicating improving momentum and room for further upside.

Considering the current chart structure, the index is likely to test the 25300, followed by the 25450 level in the short term. While, on the downside, the support shifted higher in the zone of 25050-25030 level.

Bank Nifty View

The Bank Nifty index ended Thursday’s session on a positive note, forming a bullish candle with a minor shadow on both ends, indicating intraday volatility but a strong close. Technically, the index is trading above its crucial moving averages, which reinforces the short-term bullish bias and suggests underlying strength in the banking space.

Notably, the daily RSI has taken support near the 60.96 level and has since rebounded, signalling a potential continuation of upward momentum. This bounce from a key support zone in RSI adds conviction to the bullish setup. Overall, the price action and momentum indicators point toward a constructive outlook, provided the index sustains above its immediate support levels.

Talking about crucial levels, the zone of 55900-55800 will act as crucial support for the index. While, on the upside, the zone of 56400-56500 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Any sustainable move above the level of 56500 will lead to a sharp upside rally upto the level of 57200 in the short term.

The Indian stock market closed on a positive note today, with the Sensex rising by 398 points to settle at 82,172 and the Nifty 50 gaining 135 points to close at 25,181. The market rally was supported by robust buying interest in metal, pharmaceutical, and IT sectors, with metal stocks leading the advance amid higher global commodity prices.

Investor sentiment was further boosted by easing geopolitical tensions following preliminary ceasefire reports between Israel and Hamas and positive cues from global markets, where the US technology sector saw strong gains.

Key takeaways from today’s session include broad-based sectoral participation with Nifty Metal and Pharma indices gaining significantly. The rally in metal stocks like Tata Steel was driven by firm commodity prices and expectations of sustained demand, while IT majors like HCL Technologies posted gains on optimistic outlooks.

The market also reacted positively to ongoing IPO activity, notably the strong subscription numbers in LG Electronics’ IPO and Canara Robeco Asset Management Company’s issue, reflecting sustained retail and institutional appetite for quality equity offerings. However, the auto and banking sectors faced some pressure due to cautious earnings outlooks.

Looking ahead, market expectations remain cautiously optimistic as the Q2 earnings season gains momentum. We will closely watch corporate results for cues on earnings growth, margin trends, and credit costs, especially in sectors like banking and automobiles. Global macro factors, including US Fed policy signals and China’s economic data, will continue to influence market direction.

The Nifty moved higher, shrugging off yesterday’s negativity. However, the index remained below the resistance level of 25,250.

The short-term sentiment remains positive, with the index sustaining above the critical moving averages on the daily timeframe.

On the higher end, a decisive move above 25,250 might trigger a rise towards 25,600 in the short term, while on the lower end, support is placed at 25,000.
