Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
Commenting on the day’s action, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said the market started on a positive note on the first day of 2025, and the recovery was broad-based, while the sustainability of the trend will depend on the earnings growth in Q3, where the expectation is positive on a QoQ basis.
“An uptick in core sector data and prospect of ramp-up in capex spending by the government in the remaining part of the fiscal aided sectors like capital goods, industrials, auto, and power,” Nair added.

Tech View
The Nifty remained volatile but maintained a positive bias throughout the day, said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, adding that the short-term sentiment appears strong, with the index rising for the second consecutive session.
“However, the key hurdle remains the index’s position below the 200-day moving average (200DMA). The ongoing rally may face resistance around 23,900–24,000. A decisive move above 24,000 could trigger an extension towards 24,500. On the downside, support is seen at 23,550,” De added.
