Expert Take
“We’re seeing a textbook global relief rally after last week’s panic. NIFTY 50 is well-positioned for a rebound, with momentum driven by GIFT Nifty and strong Asian market openings,” says Manisha Singh, Market Strategist at EquiPulse India.
“Any gap-up must be watched for sustainability post 10 am. Profit booking could emerge at higher levels, but sentiment has turned short-term bullish.”
The NIFTY 50 is set for a bullish start on 8 April 2025, supported by strong global markets and a sharp uptick in GIFT Nifty. While volatility may persist, the overall sentiment has shifted from panic to optimism. Traders should look for momentum in beaten-down stocks but remain cautious near resistance zones.
