Nifty had a rollercoaster week. Early days were gloomy — markets dipped to 23,070 as traders fretted about Middle East tensions and rising oil prices. Then Friday flipped the script: hints of Iran-US peace talks sent oil tumbling, and Nifty shot up 461 points in a single day to close at 23,631.
The twist? No major Indian news caused any of this. A diplomatic conversation happening thousands of miles away moved your portfolio. That's the market we're in.

One more thing: Indian mutual funds and insurance companies kept buying every single dip last week. That steady 'domestic' buying is what stopped the market from falling harder. Every SIP deduction you made this month? That money went in as buying support. You helped hold the floor.
Five trading sessions. Multiple global triggers. But make no mistake — Wednesday night IST is the event that matters most this week: the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces its interest rate decision.
Think of the Fed like India's RBI — but for the world's biggest economy. When they speak, global money moves. Here's the simple version:

Think of the market as a ball bouncing between a floor and a ceiling. Here's where those sit this week:

Bank Nifty alert: Banking stocks are the most FOMC-sensitive this week. A calm Fed = banking leads the rally. Support: 55,500–56,000. Target (if things go well): 57,000+.

Every day, two groups of investors push and pull the market. Knowing who's doing what tells you a lot:

If the FOMC is dovish (calm tone), FIIs flip from sellers to buyers — and that's when Nifty can make a sharp upward move.
