After Tuesday’s sharp sell-off that pushed Nifty below the crucial 24,000 level, Indian equity markets staged a strong comeback today, regaining lost ground and restoring confidence among participants. The recovery reflects the market’s resilience, where declines continue to be treated as buying opportunities rather than trend reversals. The session began with a mildly positive bias despite cautious global cues, and buying gradually strengthened as the day progressed. Unlike the previous session’s sustained selling pressure, today saw steady accumulation across heavyweight sectors, particularly in banking and IT stocks. A key driver of the rebound was strong buying in IT and financial stocks, which had been under pressure in the previous session. Their recovery provided a solid base for indices to move higher. Additionally, easing crude oil prices near multi-month lows significantly improved macro sentiment, reducing concerns around inflation and currency pressure.
Support also came from optimism around global stability and potential India–US trade developments, which added to positive sentiment and risk appetite. The consistent up-move throughout the day and closing near highs indicate that buyers stepped in decisively near support levels, particularly around the 23,800 zone.
Overall, the session suggests that the market is continuing in a range-bound consolidation with upward bias, where dips are being actively supported.

Final Take
Today’s session highlights the strong resilience of the market, where sharp declines are being quickly absorbed and followed by recovery. The reclaim of 24,000 by Nifty after a brief breakdown confirms that buyers remain active at lower levels, keeping the broader uptrend intact. However, the repeated struggle near 24,200–24,300 indicates that the market is still in a consolidation phase rather than a trending breakout.
Expect going forward:
Range-bound movement with upward bias, Strong support near 23,800 zone. Sector rotation with large-cap leadership, Breakout only above 24,200 for fresh momentum
