Nifty, Bank Nifty & Sensex Trade Setup and Key levels to watch for 12th August

On Monday, the markets showed a positive shift in sentiment following several weeks of weakness. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex both rebounded strongly, supported by gains in banking and realty stocks. Investor confidence seemed to return, with most major indices ending in the green. PSU banks and real estate sectors were standout performers, reflecting sectoral optimism.

However, there was some caution in consumer durables, which saw notable declines due to weak corporate guidance from key players. Overall, the mood was cautiously optimistic, with technical indicators showing resilience above long-term averages, even as short-term pressures persisted. Asian markets presented a mixed picture, with some strength seen in Japan, while others remained subdued.
