Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart Ltd, attributed the rally to a shift in global sentiment and several positive factors. “Indian markets joined the global rally today, rebounding after a brief period of underperformance,” Meena said. He noted that concerns over earnings, valuations, and recent issues had been outweighed by improved global optimism.

Meena added, “If the Nifty can sustain above its 20-DMA, around 24,500, the bullish momentum could extend towards the 24,800-25,000 zone.” He identified 24,200 as a key support level.

The surge comes after a significant decline in the previous sessions, highlighting the volatility in the current market environment.
