Bank Nifty also experienced a positive week, climbing 1.7%. Key sectors like Industrials, Real Estate, Metals, and Healthcare led the gains, while IT and Auto sectors underperformed. Additionally, the broader market gained momentum, with the small-cap index rising by nearly 5%.
Monday’s Trade Setup
Nifty remains in a consolidation phase, trading between 24,000 and 24,500. An upward breakout past 24,500 could pave the way for a target of 24,800, according to Ajit Mishra, SVP at Religare Broking Ltd.
For Bank Nifty, 51,000–51,150 is anticipated to serve as support, with resistance near the previous high of 52,580, noted Hrishikesh Yedve from Asit C. Mehta.
