📊 GoalFi Retail View

Today was a selective rally-leadership cycles back to cyclical themes like auto and metals, while defensive and export-led pockets stay cautious. The 24,700–24,800 zone is shaping into a balance area; a break above could reinvigorate the broader market. Watch for FII flows and US Fed meet outcomes for the next directional clues.
