Bank Nifty had been consolidating at higher levels, indicating a brief pause in its ongoing rally. On Monday, a breakout from this consolidation zone was witnessed on the daily chart, confirming renewed bullish momentum. This breakout highlights the strong grip of bulls on the index. As long as the index sustains above 58,000, where its 20-day EMA is positioned, it remains a buy-on-dip candidate.

Immediate support lies at 58,200, while potential resistance is expected around 59,300 and 59,500 levels.

The Nifty index opened on a positive note, witnessed buying interest, and eventually settled the session on the positive note at 26,013. Technically, on the daily chart, Nifty has formed a bullish candle, indicating underlying strength. In the near term, support for the Nifty is placed around 25,710, aligning with the bullish gap zone. On the upside, the 26,100 and 26,280 will act as key resistance points. Therefore, traders are advised to remain cautious at higher levels mentioned above.

The Bank Nifty index opened on a gap up note, continued buying interest and ultimately settled positively at 58,963. Technically, the Bank Nifty index has formed a Bullish candle on the daily chart, signalling bullish momentum. Immediate support for the index is seen near 58,580, while resistance is placed around 59,200, where the trend line hurdle is placed. Thus, traders are advised to buy near support and book profit near resistance levels mentioned above.

Markets edged higher on Monday, with the Nifty 50 extending its winning streak to a sixth straight session and closing near the 26,013 mark amid a firm undertone. The index opened positively and maintained its upward bias throughout the day. Sectorally, most indices attracted buying interest, with auto and banking leading the gains, while metals and IT ended on a muted note. The broader markets also remained buoyant, as both midcap and smallcap indices delivered healthy gains, reflecting improving market breadth.

The up-move was supported by optimism around stable domestic macroeconomic conditions and a strong close to the Q2 earnings season. However, despite the domestic strength, investors should remain attentive to global developments, especially in light of increased volatility in the US markets, which could spill over in the near term.

With the weekly expiry ahead and the Nifty now approaching its previous swing high near 26,100, some resistance at higher levels cannot be ruled out. That said, the broader undertone remains positive. A decisive breakout above 26,100 could open the doors for a move toward the 26,300–26,500 zone. On the downside, support is placed at 25,900 and 25,700, and dips toward these levels are likely to attract buying interest.

We continue to favor sectors such as banking, auto, and metal, which have shown consistent strength, while selectively identifying opportunities in other pockets.

The benchmark index Nifty continued its northward trajectory, closing above the psychological 26000 level with a gain of 0.40%, reinforcing bullish sentiment in the market. Adding to the optimism, Bank Nifty broke out of its consolidation phase and scaled a fresh all-time high on Monday, signalling strength in the banking space.

Among Nifty constituents, Eternal and Tata Consumer emerged as the top gainers, while TMPV and UltraTech Cement were the major laggards. A key highlight of the session was that all sectoral indices ended in the green, underscoring broad-based buying. Nifty PSU Bank, Consumer Durables, and Private Bank indices led the charge, posting robust gains.

The broader market also mirrored this positive tone. Nifty Midcap 100 continued its upward journey, hitting a new all-time high, while Nifty Smallcap 100 closed with a healthy gain of 0.52%. Market breadth remained firmly positive, with the Advance/Decline ratio tilted in favour of advancers. From the Nifty 500 universe, 328 stocks ended higher, reflecting strong participation across segments.

Nifty View

Considering the current chart structure, the Nifty is likely to continue its northward journey and test the level of 26150, followed by 26300 in the short term. While on the downside, the support is shifted higher in the zone of 25900-25880 level.

Bank Nifty View

The Bank Nifty index has delivered a decisive breakout from its consolidation phase on the daily chart, signalling renewed strength in the banking space. This technical development suggests that the index is poised to extend its upward trajectory in the short term. Based on the current chart structure, Bank Nifty is likely to test 59500 initially, followed by the 59900 level.

On the downside, the support zone has shifted higher to 58700–58600, which is expected to act as a strong cushion for any pullback. The breakout aligns with the broader bullish sentiment in the market, as financials continue to lead the rally.

The index moved up after a few days of consolidation on the daily timeframe. Besides, it has been sustaining above the 21EMA, which is a critical short-term moving average. The RSI is in a bullish crossover on the daily chart.

In addition, the formation of a higher bottom indicates a rising market. The trend is likely to remain strong in the short term, with the potential to move towards 26,200/26,350. On the lower side, support is placed at 25,800.

Today, the Indian equities ended on a positive note, with the Sensex surging over 388 points and the Nifty testing the 26,000 mark, led by a broad-based rally across sectors. The positive momentum was primarily driven by the NDA’s decisive victory in Bihar, which boosted investor confidence in policy continuity and market stability. Additional support came from softer inflation data, progress in India-US trade negotiations, and a sharp recovery in the banking sector, especially PSU banks, which led the gains.

The rupee also strengthened against the dollar, closing at 88.65, further adding to the positive sentiment. Kotak Mahindra Bank, Eternal, Tata Consumer, Shriram Finance, Eicher Motors, and Max Healthcare were among the top gainers, while IT and metal stocks saw mild profit booking.

Going forward, we will closely monitor further developments in India-US trade talks. The positive momentum is expected to continue, supported by stable domestic fundamentals and improving corporate earnings. However, volatility may persist due to ongoing global uncertainties and the potential for further foreign selling. Investors are advised to remain selective, focusing on quality stocks and sectors that have shown resilience and strong fundamentals.

The market has maintained its positive momentum, hovering near the key psychological level of 26,000, as investors anticipate a strong catalyst for further upward movement. A potential trade deal remains a crucial trigger that participants are closely monitoring. Currently, the risk-reward ratio is largely favorable, bolstered by stronger-than-expected Q2 earnings from Midcaps, which have reinforced confidence in growth revival and point to potential future earnings upgrades.

Nifty Bank hit a fresh all-time high near 58,957, breaking decisively above its recent consolidation range between 57,500–58,800, confirming a strong bullish continuation. The index is trading comfortably above the 20 & 50 EMA, both of which are rising and reinforcing the ongoing uptrend.

With the breakout validated by a strong candle and sustained momentum, the immediate resistance zone now lies at 59,200–59,500, and a move beyond this could open upside targets toward 60,200and 61,000–61,200. On the downside, 58,300–58,000 acts as the first important support and a healthy retest area, followed by strong support at 57,545–57,572—the lower boundary of the previous range. A break below this may trigger a deeper pullback toward the 50-EMA (56,709), while the long-term structural support remains near 53,850. RSI is hovering around 71, indicating overbought conditions, but in strong bull markets, such readings often sustain for extended periods.

Overall, the trend remains firmly bullish as long as the index holds above 58,000, and the breakout suggests further upside potential in the coming sessions.
