Today's Read

Bank Nifty market participation is today's first filter because metals need China, commodity prices and domestic sector participation aligned before becoming broad-index evidence. Track Nifty session average against 24,067.65; sentiment at -0.13 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.

India impact: Bank Nifty, realty, autos and NBFCs are the direct checks; broad Nifty weight needs domestic market participation.
