Nifty Soars Past 25,000 Milestone Before Retreating as Markets Extend Fourth Consecutive Rally
Nifty rockets past psychological barrier—then reality bites.
Four-Day Surge Hits Wall
The index blasted through 25,000 like it was nothing—another day, another arbitrary number for traders to hyperventilate over. Momentum carried it briefly into uncharted territory before gravity reasserted itself. Classic case of 'buy the rumor, sell the news'—or maybe just another reminder that what goes up must occasionally pause for breath.
Closing Reality Check
Finished lower despite the intraday fireworks. Because nothing gets the blood pumping like a good old-fashioned pullback after a record high. Four straight rallies suggest someone's still buying—or maybe just algorithms chasing their own tails.
Another day, another round of institutional investors pretending they saw it all coming. Because if there's one thing finance loves, it's a nice round number followed by a predictable correction.
