Today's Read

Nifty overnight: -1.5% — gap-down bias is today's first filter because RBI and local-liquidity cues travel first through Bank Nifty, NBFCs, realty and autos. Track Bank Nifty against 23,547.75; sentiment at -0.15 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.
