Editorial Desk

Today's Read

Nifty overnight: -0.31% — gap-down bias is today's first filter because gift Nifty premium or discount sets the opening gap, but cash-market market participation decides whether the gap holds. Track Gift Nifty against 23,309.9; sentiment at -0.07 says the first range must prove direction. Tech market participation needs Nasdaq futures and USD/INR to align; treat exporter market participation as the tell, not the trade by itself. Let the first 15 minutes print, then trade only the side that holds session average with market participation behind it.
