Sector Rotation Insights

The realty surge (+2.41%) was led by DLF (+2.27%), Lodha Developers (+1.75%), and Prestige Estates, supported by policy optimism and urban demand revival. Banking resilience (+0.14%) despite IT drag suggests defensive positioning ahead of Fed policy.

Ongoing value/cycle tilt remains intact — PSU banks and realty bid while defensives faded. Breadth remains a key watch if VIX stays in the 10–11 range.

• Nifty: Rejected 25,100 resistance as forecast, settling near day’s lows
• Key Supports: 24,900 (morning brief target), then 24,800
