Nifty Eyes 25,200: Trade Setup for May 13 After Best Rally in 4 Years
Indian equity markets witnessed a historic surge on Monday, May 12, 2025, as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty50 soared more than 4% each, marking their best single-day performance since February 2021. The rally was fueled by positive geopolitical developments, including the much-welcomed India-Pakistan ceasefire announcement, which bolstered investor sentiment across the board.
🚀 Nifty50 Clocks Over 750-Point Gain
The Nifty50 opened with a sharp gap-up at 24,420 and quickly built momentum to touch an intraday high of 24,806—adding over 750 points during the day. The index eventually closed just shy of the day’s high, reflecting strong bullish sentiment that persisted throughout the session.
The Sensex followed suit, jumping over 4% to notch its highest closing level of 2025 so far. Both indices now sit at fresh seven-month highs, with the momentum indicating a potential test of the 25,200 mark in the coming sessions.
💹 Market Cap Back Above $5 Trillion
The euphoric rally led to a massive wealth creation on Dalal Street. BSE-listed companies added nearly ₹16 lakh crore in market capitalization in just one day, propelling the total market cap of BSE-listed firms back above the coveted $5 trillion milestone.
📊 Mid & Small Caps Outshine
While the benchmark indices stole the spotlight, the broader markets delivered even stronger gains. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices surged over 4% each, underscoring broad-based buying across market segments.
🏢 Sectoral Rally: Realty, Power, IT Shine
All 13 sectoral indices ended the day in the green. Realty, power, IT, and energy stocks led the gains with returns ranging between 4% and 6%. The breadth of the rally suggests a strong undercurrent of confidence among investors across industries.
🔮 What Lies Ahead?
With strong domestic cues, a supportive geopolitical backdrop, and renewed institutional buying, Nifty seems poised to challenge the 25,200 level in the short term. Traders and investors will now look to inflation data, global cues, and earnings reports to gauge whether this momentum can be sustained.
