Markets bounce back: A clean break from the 3-day slide & What it means

The Nifty climbed back toward the 25,900 mark as value buying returned, helped by the Fed’s 25-bps rate cut. The AD ratio shifted to 3:2, a clear sign traders stepped back in across the board. Nifty held the intraday low and moved comfortably above 25,800, which now becomes the “Must-hold” base. If momentum sustains, the index has 25,950 and 26,050 as the next checkpoints.

Bank Nifty held firm above its key support at 58,800, inching closer toward the 59,400–59,500 resistance zone. A close above this could reopen the path for a broader breakout. As for the Sensex, staying above 84,550–84,600 remains essential.
