Market performance across India’s benchmark indices showed a notable recovery during the session on February 16, as the Nifty 50 snapped a losing streak to close at 25,682.75, gaining 211.65 points or 0.83%. The BSE Sensex similarly rebounded, climbing 650.39 points to finish at 83,277.15. This upward movement was largely driven by a sharp rally in the power and banking sectors, which countered persistent weakness in the technology space. Technical data indicates a significant shift in momentum for several key players in the Nifty 200 universe. Four specific stocks—GMR Airports, JSW Energy, L&T Finance, and Aurobindo Pharma—entered the "RSI Trending Up" scan. This technical signal occurs when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses above the 50 mark from lower levels, suggesting that buying interest is intensifying and price momentum is turning bullish. GMR Airports led this group with its RSI jumping to 57.21 from a previous 41.5, closing at a price of 100.52. JSW Energy followed closely with an RSI of 56.7 and a closing price of 489.95. L&T Finance and Aurobindo Pharma also cleared the neutral 50-line, posting RSI readings of 52.03 and 51.95 respectively. This trend is often viewed by traders as a precursor to potential sustained upward movement. Sectoral performance highlighted a "risk-on" sentiment in specific pockets. Power Grid Corporation emerged as a top gainer, surging 4.74% to close at 300.50, while Coal India added 3.26% to reach 422.50. The banking sector provided heavy support to the indices, with HDFC Bank rising 2.39% and Axis Bank gaining 1.93%. Despite the broad market recovery, the IT sector remained under pressure due to global concerns regarding the impact of automation and AI on traditional service models. Tech Mahindra dropped 1.34%, and Wipro fell 0.42%, capping the overall gains of the Nifty 50. Market breadth remained positive, with 21 Sensex stocks advancing against 9 declining. However, investors remain cautious as India’s merchandise trade deficit widened to 34.68 billion in January, the highest in the current fiscal year. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) also remained net sellers, offloading shares worth over 7,395 crore in recent sessions, though domestic institutional buying has provided a necessary cushion. Looking ahead, technical analysts identify immediate resistance for the Nifty 50 at the 25,700–25,800 range. A sustained close above this level could pave the way toward the 26,000 psychological mark. On the downside, support is firmly placed at 25,450, which aligns with the 100-day Exponential Moving Average.
