stock market today, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, the Indian equity benchmark indices gained in early trade on Monday morning. While the BSE Sensex was above 82,500 after touching an all-time high of 82,725, nifty50 moved above 25,300. At 9:17 am, the BSE Sensex was trading up 201 points or 0.24% at 82,566.74.

Domestic markets continued their upward momentum last week for the third consecutive week, hitting new highs on the back of favourable indicators. However, market momentum remained somewhat subdued, primarily due to the weak performance of key banking stocks, which have a significant weight in the benchmark index.
Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President, Research, Religare Broking said, “If banking sector participation improves, Nifty can cross 25,500 mark and head towards a new milestone of 26,000.”
Technical analysis suggests that the index can potentially reach the 25,500 level in the near future. According to Rishikesh Yedve of Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates, if the index maintains its position above 25,500, it can reach the range of 26,000-26,250, which is the target of the rounding bottom pattern.
