Across 1113 past sessions when the Nifty moved up by a similar amount since 2016, the Nifty was higher five sessions later 58% of the time, with a median move of +0.3%. The record leans positive, but a quarter of those sessions still saw −0.8% or worse. This describes what has happened before; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
