Nifty 50 closed at 24,175.7, up 0.7% on the day, though it remains below its 200-day average and 8.2% off its 52-week high.

Advancers led decliners 1,415 to 794, and 210 stocks printed new 52-week highs against 52 new lows, a net of plus 158. The tape is narrow but improving.
Sector rotation and Stage-2 breadth
Information Technology led all sectors on the day, up 3.3%, though over three months it remains one of the weakest sectors with only a 2.5% return. Real Estate was the second-best sector today at plus 1.4% and continues to dominate the medium-term picture — up 10.2% over one month and 29.4% over three months. Materials added 1.0% on the day.
The Stage-2 advancing cohort now stands at 34.7% of the NSE universe, widening by 1.2 over five days, 13.5 over 20 days, and 28 over 60 days. Over the last five sessions, 58 stocks moved from Stage 1 into Stage 2 against 23 moving from Stage 2 into Stage 3 — a net of plus 35.

Seven golden crosses printed today against one death cross.

Nifty: five days of deterioration, not a dip
Decliners led 1,348 to 866, net new highs keep shrinking — the tape is hollowing out, not consolidating.
Nifty week: index, breadth and new highs all fell together
The Stage-2 cohort grew, but the structural gauge narrowed and net new highs shrank every day — that is not a healthy tape.
Nifty flat, internals still slipping — range-bound with a soft edge
Fast breadth and net new highs have faded five sessions running. The tape is not recovering; it is drifting.
