The Sensex has increased by 1.59% over the previous week and continues to trade above its 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages, indicating a stable medium-term market trend. The 82,900–83,100 zone provides immediate support, while a stronger base lies at 82,500–82,800. Resistance is seen in the 84,000–84,500 range, which acts as a key psychological barrier. Large-cap stocks remain in focus and are expected to witness gradual upside momentum in the coming weeks.

The Nifty 50 index displayed a bullish trend, forming a positive weekly candlestick and closing above the 20-week exponential moving average. Immediate support is placed between 25,500 and 25,600, with a broader support zone around 25,250. A breakout above the 25,800 resistance could propel the index toward 26,000–26,350. Meanwhile, the India VIX has declined to 12, creating a supportive environment for bullish market sentiment.
