Nifty opened with a strong gap-up amid positive global cues, closing higher by 206 points at 26,172.40, up 0.79%. This bullish session highlighted sustained buying interest and recovery momentum over the last three trading sessions.

Opening Zone Breakdown

Nifty gapped up by 89.45 points to open at 26,055.85, quickly hitting a high of 26,180.70 while defending the low at 26,055.85. The index consolidated firmly near 26,150 after an initial surge above 26,100, before rallying post-3 PM without breaching 26,200.

Why Nifty Surged Today

Global positivity fueled the upmove, with US markets gaining on Fed rate-cut hopes, Asian indices advancing, and GIFT Nifty signaling a firm open up 164 points. FIIs turned net buyers for three sessions (₹3,776 crore inflows), RBI’s firm rupee intervention curbed depreciation, and gold hitting all-time highs at $4,413/oz boosted risk appetite. Rupee recovery from lows near 91/USD, alongside no panic selling, reinforced bullish sentiment as markets shifted focus from tariff concerns to year-end rally potential.

Market Behavior Highlights

First 5-minute delta stayed positive post-gap-up (less than expected), with defense against downside after crossing 26,100. Long consolidation near 26,150 prevailed until a late rally attempt, recovering over 400 points across three sessions amid changed global conditions.
