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 day, with the near-term read neutral-to-up. Breadth is narrow but improving — advancers led decliners 1,260 to 953, 172 new 52-week highs printed 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 market and has widened by roughly 20 over the past 60 days, with 110 stocks moving from Stage 1 into Stage 2 over the last five sessions against only 10 exiting the other way.
Sector rotation
Utilities led on the day at +1.8%, followed by Health Care at +0.9% and Consumer Discretionary at +0.8%. The one-month picture is dominated by Industrials (+8.9%), Real Estate (+5.8%) and Consumer Discretionary (+4.7%), and over three months Industrials extends that lead sharply at +26.2%, with Communication Services at +16.9% and Real Estate at +14.6%. Energy is the clear three-month laggard at -3.6%. The fastest Stage-2 cohort expansion over the last 20 days is in Materials, Health Care and Financials — three sectors worth watching for fresh setups as the screener's advancing universe widens there.
