The Sensex surged 1,046 points on June 20, 2025, snapping a three-day losing streak
1. Bulls Reclaim & Take Charge: Sensex and Nifty Rebound with Force
Bulls Reclaim – After three consecutive sessions of losses, Dalal Street staged a powerful comeback. The BSE Sensex surged 1,046 points (1.3%) to close at 82,408, while the Nifty 50 climbed 319 points (1.3%) to end at 25,112. The rally was broad-based, with all 13 sectoral indices ending in the green.

Key drivers behind the surge included:
- Easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which had previously rattled global markets.
- A sharp drop in crude oil prices, with Brent falling nearly 2.4% to $76.96 per barrel.
- Renewed Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) buying, with net inflows exceeding ₹3,300 crore over the past three sessions.
- The Reserve Bank of India’s relaxed project finance norms, which boosted banking and infrastructure stocks.
The Bank Nifty reclaimed the 56,000 mark, while PSU banks, metals, realty, and capital goods stocks led the charge. The Nifty Realty index alone jumped 1.7%, reflecting optimism in the real estate sector.
2. Top Movers: Who Led the Rally and Who Lagged Behind
The rally was powered by strong performances from heavyweight stocks. Among the top gainers on the Nifty 50 were:
- Jio Financial Services
- Mahindra & Mahindra
- Bharti Airtel
- Bharat Electronics (BEL)
- Trent Ltd.
These stocks benefited from index rebalancing, sectoral tailwinds, and positive institutional sentiment. BEL and Trent, in particular, saw inflows due to their inclusion in the Sensex during the semi-annual rejig.
On the flip side, a few stocks bucked the trend. Hero MotoCorp, ONGC, and Dr. Reddy’s Labs were among the laggards, weighed down by profit booking and sector-specific concerns.
The BSE Midcap index rose 1.2%, while the Smallcap index added 0.5%, indicating strong participation across the board. Market breadth was firmly in favor of the bulls, with over 2,200 stocks advancing.
3. What’s Next: Can the Momentum Sustain or Is Caution Warranted?
While today’s rally has lifted investor spirits, analysts urge caution. The Nifty 50 now faces a key resistance zone between 24,900 and 25,100, and a decisive breakout above this range is needed to confirm a sustained uptrend.
Technical experts suggest:
- Support levels lie around 24,700–24,600. A breach could trigger short-term selling.
- Volatility may rise ahead of global central bank meetings and macroeconomic data releases.
- Midcap and smallcap segments, though recovering, remain vulnerable to profit booking.
That said, the fundamentals remain supportive. India’s macroeconomic indicators are stable, corporate earnings have been resilient, and global risk appetite is improving. If FII inflows continue and crude prices stay subdued, the market could build on today’s gains.
