Gift Nifty signals a steady start as cautious optimism greets Dalal Street on the first trading day of December 2025.
Meanwhile, Nifty breaking into fresh record highs in last week’s trade officially marks the end of a 14-month consolidation phase — and sets the stage for what could be the next leg of the rally.
But for today, the mantra is simple: discipline over excitement.
1) Buy selectively on dips
2) Avoid chasing strength blindly
3) Manage leverage with caution — not emotion
Long Story Short: Momentum is bullish. The trend is strong. But in bull markets, it’s smart positioning — not excitement — that creates wealth.
