"Bank index rose 1.2%, extending its uptrend to a new high." - Religare Broking Ltd
NIFTY
* Nifty opened sharply higher on the first day of the new expiry and gained over a percent, fully engulfing the recent decline.
* We maintain our positive outlook and recommend continuing a “buy-on-dips” approach unless the index decisively breaks below 25,800.
* On the upside, we now expect the 26,300–26,500 zone to act as the next resistance.
* With all key sectors contributing to the move, we advise focusing on stock selection with favourable risk–reward setups, while maintaining a preference for large-cap and large mid-cap names.
