🧠 Trade Plan: Short-Term vs Long-Term (Practical)
✅ Short-term (1–5 trading days)
Prefer range strategy unless a clear breakout happens:
Nifty: buy-on-dips near 25,650–25,560 with strict stop; book profits near 25,820–25,900
Avoid over-leveraging because RBI (Feb 6) + ECB/BoE today can flip sentiment fast.
✅ Long-term (3–24 months)
Keep SIP / staggered buying approach.
Focus baskets: Quality financials (watch RBI cues) Capex + infrastructure beneficiaries Selective consumption only if earnings visibility improves If volatility spikes again, treat it as asset allocation opportunity, not a panic event (provided fundamentals remain intact).
✅ Final Take (Today’s Pre-Market View)
Sentiment for Feb 5: Cautious-positive.
GIFT Nifty is slightly soft, but not signalling a breakdown.
Biggest intraday triggers: RBI week headlines, global tech risk, and crude swings.
