After a positive start, markets traded within a narrow range and ended marginally in the green. The NIFTY50 index formed a doji candle on the daily chart, reflecting indecision ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy meeting later in the week.

Sector-wise, defensives indices were on the back foot, with FMCG (-0.7%) and IT (-0.1%) closing in red, while Energy (+0.8%) and Metals (+0.6%) saw strong gains.

On the technical front, NIFTY50 formed a doji candlestick near its all-time high, indicating a potential pause. The index is consolidating at higher levels, with immediate support around the 25,150 to 25,200 zone. Sustaining this zone on a closing basis could allow the index to maintain its bullish momentum.
