Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
The Indian market rebounded from the day’s lows as investor sentiment improved following favorable remarks on trade deal by the U.S. Ambassador ahead of the next round of negotiations, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, adding that this positive undertone provided a lift to overall market sentiment.
“The commodities segment outperformed, supported by strength in metals, which benefited from renewed buying interest during supply constraints. Value buying was also evident in consumer and banking stocks, as investors sought opportunities after recent corrections, supported by expectations of stronger Q3 earnings and improving demand. Additionally, precious metals maintained their upward momentum amid persistent geopolitical tensions,” said Nair.

Tech View
Strong buying near the day’s low led to a smart recovery in the market and on the daily chart, the Nifty has formed a piercing line pattern, suggesting the possibility of a bullish reversal after a few days of selling pressure, said , said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that on the hourly chart, the RSI has moved out of the oversold zone, indicating early signs of recovery.
“However, this half session buying is not expected to change overall market sentiment. We would remain watchful, as the Nifty faces resistance in the 26000–26100 zone, where selling pressure may re-emerge. On the lower end, immediate and crucial support is placed at 25650,” said De.
