, and broadbased participation across sectors. Technically, the next upside targets range between 25,200 and 25,800, provided it sustains above the 24,800 support zone. However, a breakdown below this level could pull the index back toward 24,200. Market breadth remains healthy, with midcap and smallcap indices outperforming, indicating rising risk appetite. Overall, the near-term structure for Nifty remains bullish, with any dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.

Where is the Nifty headed this week?
This week, Nifty rallied by 4%, staging a bullish turtle break and, in the process, it also surpassed the 45-degree downward sloping trendline on the P&F chart. We expect the follow-through move to persist post formation of a bullish anchor column. Interestingly, riskon names/sectors like midcap IT, metals, and broader markets are back in favour. In such a scenario, focus will be beyond the index. Nifty is expected to gradually move higher post-recent rally, with 25,300 as the upside potential target for the next few weeks.
Trading Strategies for the Week:
Live Events
Both Midcap 100 and Smallcap indices rallied 7% and 9% respectively, outperforming the benchmark index. The ratio of Midcap 100 vs Nifty is attempting to surpass the peak of Feb 2025; a break above the same would continue Midcaps' outperformance. We expect a 10–12% rally in Bharat Forge, LTF, and LIC Housing. Post a sharp decline in April, Nifty Metal index bounced off the 2-year mean and is attempting to surpass the March 2025 peak. SAIL and Tata Steel likely to be major movers in next few weeks.

Where is Nifty headed this week?
Nifty witnessed a sharp upmove last week, supported by easing geopolitical worries and strong FII buying. The index continues its 'Higher Top, Higher Bottom' structure, with the previous resistance zone of 24,500-24,600 now acting as short-term support. Nifty could advance towards 25,200–25,250, followed by 25,700, which aligns with the October 2024 gap zone. Positionally, the index may retest all-time highs soon, and any dips should be viewed as buying opportunities.
Trading Strategies for the Week:
PSU and capital market segments are showing signs of a breakout and could outperform in the near term. Short-term traders can consider buying HDFC AMC, MCX, Concor, and Hudco, where the risk-reward appears favourable. For positional traders, Eternal looks promising as it breaks out after four months of consolidation, indicating potential for a sustained uptrend.

UP CM adviser holds talks with Goswami community over Banke Bihari Corridor
Agra: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath's adviser Awanish Kumar Awasthi on Friday, chaired a meeting at the tourist facilitation centre in Vrindavan, to discuss issues related to the proposed Banke Bihari Corridor with members of the Goswami community involved in the management of the temple, local shopkeepers and residents. Speaking to media persons after the meeting, Awasthi said the proposed project aims to enhance facilities for pilgrims, and efficiently manage the increasing pilgrim footfall in the Mathura-Vrindavan area. "The number of pilgrims visiting the area is rising exponentially. Today's meeting focused on how to effectively cater to this surge while ensuring public confidence and participation in the planning process. This was the first round of discussions, and it was very productive," he said. On concerns raised by the Goswami community regarding the project, Awasthi said several suggestions had been put forth during the meeting. "The district magistrate and other officials will carefully evaluate these inputs. The state govt aims to proceed with the most inclusive and best possible option to take the project forward," Awasthi said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Established in 1862 in the heart of Vrindavan, the Shri Banke Bihari temple is administered by Shebaits — a hereditary priesthood responsible for daily rituals and temple management. It remains one of North India's most visited pilgrimage sites. The Supreme Court's May 15 verdict came amid ongoing protests by members of the Goswami community and local residents, who have opposed both the corridor project and the formation of Banke Bihari Temple Trust. The court's decision, delivered by a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and SC Sharma, cleared the way for the govt to move ahead with its Rs 500 crore redevelopment plan, which includes acquiring nearly five acres of land near the shrine, using temple funds. Calls for redevelopment intensified after a stampede-like incident during Janmashtami celebrations in 2022, left two dead. In Sept 2023, the Allahabad high court directed the state govt to implement a corridor plan for improved crowd management and safety. While officials claim stakeholders were consulted, Shebaits and local residents have alleged they were excluded from the planning process.

Story of a 17-year-old: From discontinuing studies to later clearing SSLC
Mysuru: Here's a touching narrative of resilience and determination. A student from the city discontinued formal schooling in Class VI, yet four years later achieved first-class results in the 2024-25 SSLC examination as a private candidate.

This chronicles 17-year-old Rushil's journey. His family's separation during his Class III led to his relocation to Bengaluru with his father, where he enrolled in a public school. Financial constraints forced him to leave after completing Class VI, without obtaining a transfer certificate. He returned to Mysuru to live with his mother at his grandfather's residence. Despite attempts to secure admission in a Mysuru private school, the absence of documentation and substantial fees were barriers. In May 2022, his grandfather contacted Kaliyuva Mane, a free residential alternative school in Kenchalagudu. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Based on the affidavit submitted by his mother, Rushil qualified to appear for the SSLC examination as a private candidate.

Uttarakhand HC stops construction work on Mussoorie's Mall Road
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court on Friday halted ongoing construction work by the Mussoorie municipality on the road connecting Mall Road to Library road. While hearing a public interest petition filed by Mussoorie resident Pradeep Sah against the construction, the bench comprising Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra ordered the halt and instructed the municipality to submit a response within three weeks. The next hearing in the case will also be held after three weeks. The public interest petition states that in 2023, the Mussoorie municipality passed a proposal to remove an existing dispensary from the middle of Mall Road to streamline traffic, which improved the traffic situation. However, the municipality resumed construction at the same location following a board meeting in March 2025. The petitioner argues that building in the middle of the road could lead to traffic jams and other inconveniences, and therefore, the construction should be stopped.
