Bank Nifty is attempting to form a potential double bottom around 54,000. If this support holds and buying emerges, a recovery attempt could develop. However, the pattern is not confirmed until price action establishes a meaningful reversal. -->Global Cues: US Markets Higher, Crude Eases Slightly US markets: The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, the Nasdaq rose around 0.6–0.8%, and the Dow Jones advanced approximately 0.7% on Monday, supported by technology and semiconductor stocks. ---> What do the flows indicate?
