The recent victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra has sparked celebrations on Dalal Street, with the Nifty50 surging by more than 350 points on a Monday morning at 24,250.
But it's not just the election results driving the bullish sentiment. The markets, particularly the Nifty50 and broader Nifty500 indices, have bounced back from their 200-day exponential moving averages (200DEMA), signalling that the bull trend is still alive and well. As the markets show signs of a bullish recovery, readers are increasingly seeking opportunities that can offer superior returns.

The Nifty IT Index has been one of the standout performers recently, and its relative strength compared to the Nifty50 index is an important factor to watch. A key indicator to track this is the NiftyIT/Nifty50 ratio, a chart that highlights the performance of the IT sector against the broader market.
A rising ratio implies that the IT sector outperforms the Nifty50, while a declining ratio indicates the opposite. Recently, the NiftyIT/Nifty50 ratio broke out of a significant multi-year resistance zone, signalling a shift in momentum.
