Nifty 50 Analysis
The Nifty 50 opened at ₹22,878.45 and steadily climbed throughout the session, reaching an intraday high of ₹23,057.3 before closing near the day’s top end.

- Support: ₹22,624.2 (intraday low) — critical floor for tomorrow’s session
- Range: A 433-point intraday range suggests elevated volatility but controlled by buyers
Bank Nifty Analysis
Bank Nifty stole the show with a 2.27% rally, gaining 1,167.9 points to close at ₹52,605.65. Opening at ₹52,384.8, the index rallied aggressively to ₹52,949.15 before settling slightly below the high. The strong close near the top of the range indicates institutional buying in financial stocks.
- Resistance: ₹52,949.15 (intraday high) — breakout target for bullish traders
- Support: ₹51,827.5 (intraday low) — key support zone for downside protection
- Bullish Signal: Close above opening and near session highs suggests continuation potential
FII / DII Activity
No FII or DII activity was recorded during today’s session (₹0 Cr combined). This absence of visible institutional flows is notable—it suggests the rally was driven primarily by retail participation and domestic equities desk activity. With no major foreign inflows or outflows, domestic factors dominated market direction, reducing external volatility risk for near-term traders.
