The day was a recovery-after-shakeout session. NIFTY closed -0.44% from its first stored bar while BANKNIFTY closed -0.77%, so the index-level finish was constructive but not uniformly led by banks. The decisive intraday event was the breadth trough at 15:00, where only +27.5% of moving stocks advanced. That was followed by a breadth expansion at 09:00 with +49.1% advancers, which argues that the rebound was broader than a narrow heavyweight lift. Within the covered universe, IT - Services was the strongest sector cluster, while Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology lagged. For the next session, the key question is whether late-day breadth can persist; if it fades early, the recovery should be treated as a tactical bounce rather than a fresh trend impulse.
