The markets reflected a positive sentiment on Tuesday, as both the Nifty 50 and the Sensex maintained their upward trajectory throughout the session. The broader trend remained bullish, supported by strong technical indicators and sustained movement above key moving averages. Investor confidence seemed to strengthen, particularly as the indices held firm despite a relatively flat start. The overall momentum suggested that buyers were in control, with profit-taking appearing limited and sectoral breadth largely positive.
Among sectors, auto and realty stocks led the rally, signalling optimism around domestic consumption and infrastructure development. The strong showing in these segments was complemented by gains in banking and infrastructure-related counters, adding further resilience to the market mood.
On the flip side, FMCG stocks showed mild weakness, possibly reflecting near-term concerns around valuations or input costs. Global cues were mixed but largely steady, with most Asian markets in the green and US futures pointing to a mildly positive opening.
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.
