Markets witnessed some respite and edged marginally higher after four consecutive sessions of decline. Following a flat start, the Nifty attempted a recovery in the early hours, largely driven by buying interest in select heavyweights. However, the upside remained capped near the short-term moving average around the 25,250 level. Eventually, it settled at 25,195.80, up by 0.47%.

On the sectoral front, all key sectors ended in the green, with auto, pharma, and realty emerging as the top gainers. The positive sentiment extended to the broader markets as well, with both midcap and smallcap indices gaining nearly a percent each.

Participants drew comfort from the further easing of CPI inflation, which triggered notable buying in rate-sensitive sectors in hopes of a potential rate cut. However, continued disappointment from the IT space, following HCL Technologies' results, capped overall momentum. With the hurdle at the short-term moving average (20 DEMA) near 25,250 still intact, we suggest maintaining a cautious stance on the index and adopting a selective approach on the sectoral front.

The Index began on a flat note but gradually compounded its gains; however, it trimmed some of the gains, and the Index ended the day at 25,195.80 with gains of 113.50 points. Sector-wise, all of them closed in the green, with Auto and Pharma stocks leading the rally. The broader market continued to outperform, as both the Midcap and Smallcap segments rose over 0.90% each.

A hidden bullish divergence in the RSI hints at a potential trend reversal. The 25,000 level remains a strong support area, while resistance is expected around the 25,325 mark.
