Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
Domestic indices traded within a narrow range, following last week’s strong rally driven by easing geopolitical tensions and optimism over a potential U.S. trade deal, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, adding that investors are closely monitoring developments, seeking clarity on U.S. tariffs as the 90-day pause approaches its end.
“Additionally, confidence in domestic earnings growth remains crucial for sustaining market sentiment, with Q1FY26 results, set to begin next week, expected to provide further insight. Meanwhile, multiple tailwinds, including a favourable monsoon, declining inflation, including benign crude prices, and government efforts to boost demand, are anticipated to lend continued support to investor sentiment,” said Nair.

Tech View
The Nifty remained mostly range-bound before closing flat, and on the hourly chart, the index has been sustaining above the 21-EMA, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that on the option front, decent Put writing seen at 25,500 strike; while, strong Call writing was visible at 25,600. “For the short term, support is seen at 25,500; a decisive fall below this level might trigger long unwinding in the market. However, if the index holds above 25,500, a recovery could emerge, potentially pushing the Nifty towards 25,600–25,800 in the short term,” said De.Also read | Warren Buffett’s biggest investment isn’t Apple, BofA or Coca-Cola — it’s a stock hidden in plain sight
