Nifty Eyes 26,000 for Strong Momentum; VIX Hits Record Low

• Nifty 50 snapped its four-day losing streak, closing above short-term moving averages with nearly double the volume.
• The index needs a decisive rise above 26,000 to gain strong momentum towards 26,300; 25,800–25,700 acts as support.
• Bank Nifty underperformed, rising 0.27% to 59,069, forming Doji-like patterns signaling indecision, but defended its rising support trendline.
• India VIX hit a fresh record closing low of 9.52, extending its decline for the fourth consecutive week.
• Consistently low VIX levels signal the possibility of sharp market moves, with a potential VIX spike indicated by a double-bottom-like formation.

Why It Matters: Nifty needs 26,000 breakout for rally; VIX at record low signals market volatility ahead.
