The Nifty 50 opened with a gap-up at 25,338 and traded up 1.3 per cent, supported by strong buying interest across multiple sectors. Nifty PSU Bank led the sectoral gains, while pharma and healthcare indices faced minor declines.

Mumbai: The Nifty 50 opened today’s trading session with a gap-up at 25,338, compared to its previous close of 25,045 on Monday. The index subsequently traded at 25,370, marking an increase of 1.3 per cent.

Market breadth indicated strong buying interest, with the Nifty 50 advances-to-declines ratio standing at 45 to 5. InterGlobe Aviation and Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the top gainers, both rising over 4 per cent. Conversely, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories and Sun Pharmaceuticals were the weakest constituents, declining by 0.7 per cent and 0.6 per cent, respectively.

Sectoral performance showed broad-based gains, with most indices advancing over 1 per cent. The Nifty PSU Bank index led the sectoral chart with a 2.3 per cent gain. In contrast, indices related to pharma and healthcare moved into negative territory, with the Nifty Pharma index recording the largest decline at 0.5 per cent.

The price action for Nifty futures also reflected a positive bias. The November Nifty futures contract opened higher at 25,320 against Monday’s close of 25,033, and traded at 25,420, up 1.9 per cent. The contract has remained above the 25,000-mark throughout the week, showing a sustained bullish bias with no chart indications of a trend reversal.

According to technical market analysis, the intraday trend remains positive as long as Nifty futures stay above the 25,300 support level. The probability of the November contract extending its rally is viewed as high. Current projections suggest the contract could rise to 25,600, with a potential breakout extending the rally toward 25,800. On the downside, a slip below the 25,300 support could push the downtrend toward 25,125, with subsequent support situated at 25,000.

Given the prevailing price action, market participants evaluating intraday strategies have noted potential long positions, with suggested entry levels around 25,375, a stop-loss at 25,250, and profit targets set at 25,600.

"Broad-based buying and strong sectoral participation, such as the gains seen in public sector banking, indicate healthy underlying market sentiment during this trading session. However, traders and investors must maintain disciplined risk management by strictly adhering to stop-loss levels, as market volatility can quickly shift intraday technical setups." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
