The market opened on a flat note, reflecting a cautious and consolidative sentiment after last week’s strong performance. Despite the early uptick, major indices like the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex ended slightly lower, suggesting mild profit-booking and a lack of strong directional cues. While the broader trend remains intact. The subdued closing, despite staying above important moving averages, indicates a pause in momentum rather than a reversal.
On the sectoral front, optimism was evident in realty, PSU, and small-cap counters, showing selective risk-on behaviour. Real estate stocks, particularly those with exposure to the data centre space, saw sharp gains, driven by speculation of supportive policy measures. Meanwhile, defensive sectors like pharma, IT, and healthcare dragged the indices down, suggesting a rotation of funds into high-beta pockets. Overall, market sentiment remained moderately positive but cautious, with strength in select segments contrasting with profit-booking in others.
In this overview, we will analyse the key technical levels and trend directions for Nifty and BSE Sensex to monitor in the upcoming trading sessions. All the charts mentioned below are based on the 5-minute timeframe.
