Stock market today: The Indian stock markets commenced the week positively, opening higher on Monday due to a boost in investor confidence following the recent substantial rate cut announced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The Nifty 50 index started at 25,131.25, increasing by 128.20 points or 0.51%. Likewise, the Sensex opened the day at 82,616.12, climbing by 427.13 points or 0.52%.
Market analysts are optimistic that Indian equities will remain strong throughout the day. This robust momentum is being driven not only by the RBI’s rate cut and liquidity initiatives but also by favorable signals from global markets.

Technical views by Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities on F&O market:
Nifty 50
The stock index witnessed a sharp upmove following a bold policy announcement by the RBI. Closing above the 25,000 mark for the first time in several sessions reflects renewed optimism among market participants. Historically, a rally followed by consolidation often leads to an upward breakout, and a similar pattern appears to be unfolding now. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at 25,150.
A breakout above this level — or sustained trade above 25,000 — could pave the way for a move towards 25,350. On the downside, support is placed at 24,850. A decisive fall below this level may dampen the current momentum and lead to profit booking.
Open Interest Analysis: Huge additions were seen in the open interest at the 25,000 PUT; apart from that 24,900 and 24,800 strikes witnessed decent Put addition. While CALL writers added substantial positions at the 25,500 strikes on Friday. Maximum CALL open interest was seen at the 25,500 strike, whereas maximum PUT open interest was seen at 25,000, indicating a broader range for the market. Currently the PUT writers are slightly outnumbering the CALL writers for current weekly expiry.
Strategy: Strength increases if Nifty 50 sustains above 25,000 in the first hour.
Trade: Buy Nifty 12 June 25200CE ABOVE 120 TGT 180 SL 84.
