• F&O Breadth: Market participation remained strong over the past week. Out of the F&O universe, 37 stocks gained over 5%, 71 rose 2–5%, and 50 advanced up to 2%. On the downside, only 28 stocks declined up to 2%, 15 fell 2–5%, and just 2 stocks lost more than 5%, highlighting broad-based strength.
• Nifty 50: The market is at a key technical inflection point. A breakout above the 24,500–24,600 resistance zone would end the prolonged consolidation phase and set the stage for a move towards 25,000, with 25,500 as the next major objective.
