Technically, the structure remains bullish as long as Nifty sustains above 25,800, with 25,750 acting as immediate support. On the downside, 25,600–25,500 serves as a key support band, while a decisive breakout above 26,000–26,300 could lead to fresh lifetime highs. The broader sentiment stays positive, supported by robust Q2 earnings, festive liquidity, and steady foreign institutional inflows.
