At the moment, Nifty remains trapped in the 25,300–25,600 range, and a decisive breakout is needed to establish a clear trend. The session began with a gap-up opening but soon turned range-bound, with the Nifty dipping to 25,400 amid intermittent selling. Buying in PSU banks, healthcare, and auto stocks helped the market recover from lower levels. In the broader market, the Nifty Midcap gained 0.6%, while the Smallcap index closed flat, highlighting selective strength despite overall indecision.
