- Macro support (monsoon + oil + FII flows) is currently outweighing global uncertainty
- Momentum may continue, but near-term consolidation cannot be ruled out after a sharp multi-session rally
⚠️ Market Tone Going Forward
- Short-term: Overbought but strong trend
- Medium-term: Supported by earnings expectations and liquidity inflows
- Key watch: FII flow consistency + monsoon progression + global risk cues
🎯 Bottom Line
