• Market View: Bank Nifty: Continues to outperform Nifty and remains the stronger index. 57,500 is the key pivot, while a sustained move above 58,300–58,500 would strengthen the bullish setup. Nifty: Options positioning remains cautious, with PCR at 0.91. Low India VIX at 10.56 suggests a range-bound setup, with 24,000 as key support and 24,400 as the immediate resistance.
• Sector Rotation: Sector rotation remains visible, with Metal, Bank and Realty showing relatively better performance, while FMCG, Auto, IT and Pharma are losing relative strength.

• Sandur Manganese (₹209): ₹190–195 has emerged as the immediate support zone. A close above ₹220 could strengthen the higher-high/higher-low structure and open the way towards ₹240. A decisive breakout above ₹240 would signal an end to the year-long consolidation.
