The bulls remained in control for the second straight session as Nifty crossed the psychological hurdle of 25,500. The index also broke out above a major falling trend line that connects all key tops since the previous record high of 26,277, indicating the potential for further upside in the coming sessions. On the derivatives front, fresh long positions are being built, reinforcing the bullish sentiment. Momentum indicators and oscillators continue to signal a buy on both daily and weekly charts. Overall, the trend remains positive, with Nifty likely to head towards 25,800–26,000 levels in the short term, while support has now shifted higher to around 25,420.

Domestic equities extended their strong recovery rally, buoyed by positive global cues and renewed optimism surrounding India–US trade discussions. Gains were broad-based, led by Realty, Auto, FMCG, and Private Banking stocks. Sentiment was further lifted by expectations of a Q3FY26 demand revival, early signs of FII inflows, supported by dovish commentary from the US Fed, and a softer dollar index. The recent appreciation of the INR also reinforced the positive undertone. While near-term momentum remains favourable, sustained performance will depend on signs of earnings growth from ongoing corporate results and developments in global trade.
