According to Sagar Doshi, Senior Vice President-Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, the Nifty 50 index has retraced from trade deal announcement highs and tested the 200-DMA, where it is now forming a consolidation structure. Any rebound from current levels is likely to face resistance near the 25,700 zone. A decisive close above this level would be required to trigger fresh upside momentum.

Bank Nifty:

The Bank Nifty continued to outperform the Nifty 50 and managed to close above its previous day's low, reflecting underlying strength after three consecutive weekly closes at lifetime highs.
