Conversely, Tata Steel, Titan, Bajaj Finserv, JSW Steel, Bajaj Finance, Tata Motors, Wipro, Hindustan Unilever, and ITC faced declines.

Midcap and small-cap stocks also saw buying interest, with the Nifty Midcap 100 index climbing 1,235 points, or 2.16%, to settle at 58,535, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index rose 374 points, or 2.05%, to reach 18,617.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, commented, “The Nifty has formed a bullish pattern on the daily timeframe, indicating rising optimism. The index has also moved above a critical moving average on the hourly timeframe, and the RSI has made a bullish crossover in the shorter timeframe, further supporting the positive outlook.”

He added, “In the near term, the index may approach the 25,350–25,400 range. On the downside, support is positioned at 24,850, and a break below this level could signal weakness.”
