The banking index extended its upward trajectory for the eighth consecutive session, registering gains throughout the week - Religare Broking Ltd
Nifty

* Nifty extended their winning streak on Friday, gaining nearly half a percent, in line with favorable global and domestic cues.
* Nifty is now approaching its previous swing high of 25,150, which may lead to some consolidation before the index advances towards the 25,250–25,500 zone.
* A decisive breakout above 54,900 in the banking index could act as a major catalyst for fresh momentum; otherwise, the move may remain gradual.
* Meanwhile, traders should continue to focus on the sustained strength in metals, autos, and pharma, while remaining selective in other sectors and themes such as defense and railways.
