Hello ,

Morning surge fades - markets pause as GST optimism meets profit booking; optimism hangs by a thread.

The GST-fueled rally lost steam by midday. While markets briefly charged higher, testing levels near 24.9K - late-session caution pulled them back. Nifty closed modestly higher, up just 19 points at 24,734.30, and the Sensex ended 150 points higher at 80,718. The day was a tale of two sessions: a hopeful start and a cautious finish.

🧠 GoalFi Investor Lens

Today is a reminder that rallies can falter. GST-fueled enthusiasm fueled the markets in the beginning, but headwinds in the form of tariff uncertainty and Sensex expiry kept their lid on continued buying. The level of 24.8K is now a pivot: a close above it could revive momentum; dip below 24.6K, and the rally could limp. Profit-taking isn't a sell-off - it's a setup. Monitor early flows, particularly from tech and consumption space.
