Nifty 50 closed at 24,168, up 0.3% on the day, still below its 200-day average and 8.2% off its 52-week high — the regime reads weak but recovering, now for a 13th consecutive session. Breadth is narrow but improving: advancers led decliners 1,260 to 953, 172 stocks printed new 52-week highs against just 33 new lows, and 10 golden crosses fired with no death crosses. The Stage-2 advancing cohort stands at 30.5% of the NSE universe, widening by roughly 5 over the last five sessions and nearly 20 over the last 60 — the near-term read is neutral-to-up.
Sector rotation
Utilities led on the day at +1.8%, followed by Health Care at +0.9% and Consumer Discretionary at +0.8%. Zooming out, Industrials remains the dominant force — up 8.9% over one month and 26.2% over three — with Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary holding second and third on the one-month table. Energy is the three-month laggard at -3.6%, and Information Technology, despite a standout mover today, sits at just +4.5% over three months. The sectors where the Stage-2 cohort is expanding fastest right now are Materials, Health Care and Financials — all three have seen meaningful widening over the last 20 sessions.
