NIFTY BANKNIFTY Weekly Market Wrap
The trading week of 22–25 June 2026 showcased a complete market cycle. The week started with a strong recovery as easing geopolitical tensions and lower crude oil prices lifted sentiment. Mid-week, weaker PMI data triggered profit booking, particularly in IT and metal stocks. Buyers quickly returned, with banking and financial stocks leading the rebound before markets ended the shortened week on a constructive note ahead of the Muharram holiday.

Final Verdict
The 23–25 June trading week reinforced an important lesson: strong trends rarely move in a straight line. While the market experienced meaningful profit booking, buyers consistently defended key support levels. Banking leadership, improving institutional participation and stable volatility suggest that the broader trend remains constructive, although traders should continue monitoring 24,000 on NIFTY and 57,000 on BANKNIFTY as pivotal levels.
