The Nifty index closed flat today, gaining only a single point and reflecting a steady but modest uptrend. Analysts project an upward target of 25,500, while key support levels are at 25,160–25,120. The ongoing sector rotation is helping to maintain this gradual increase, making it a suitable time for trailing stop-loss strategies.
Meanwhile, Sensex ended in the red, highlighting a minor downturn amid the broader market’s gains. This decline in the Sensex contrasts with the positive movements in other market segments, indicating mixed performance across different indices.
The cautious market sentiment is largely attributed to a recent slowdown in manufacturing activities, which points to potential decreases in demand.
