Indian markets delivered a decisive rebound today, snapping a three-day losing streak with stronger-than-expected institutional support and sectoral breadth. The morning brief correctly anticipated a gap-up opening and identified the 25,500-25,560 range as critical, with Nifty closing at 25,574—validating the technical setup. However, the most significant divergence was in Nifty IT performance: the morning newsletter flagged IT weakness due to US tech concerns, yet the sector surged +1.62% to emerge as the top performer, contradicting expectations. Metal strength continued as predicted (+0.55%), while institutional flows showed a mixed pattern—FII turned net sellers while DII absorbed the selling pressure.
