Markets opened the week on a positive note, with benchmark indices closing higher amid a broadly upbeat sentiment. Buying was seen across key sectors, especially in IT and real estate, helping the indices maintain momentum above key technical levels. Overall market breadth remained healthy, and momentum indicators suggested stable conditions without signs of overheating. However, banking stocks saw some weakness, with the Bank Nifty ending slightly lower, indicating selective profit booking.
Sectorally, the IT space led the gains, supported by strong performances from major technology companies, while the realty segment also saw modest advances. On the flip side, media and public sector bank stocks came under pressure, emerging as the day’s key laggards. Sentiment was further boosted by positive cues from major Asian markets, which posted solid gains through the day.
However, a slightly cautious tone from US futures in the later session suggested that global investors remain watchful amid a mix of optimism and external uncertainties. In this overview, we will analyze 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.
