Stocks. Crypto. Gold.
Live, Every Day.

Bitcoin breached the $71,000 mark on May 30, rising 5.9% over 24 hours on heavy institutional buying. Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $400M in a single day — the highest since April. Despite the rally, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in 'Extreme Fear' territory at 24, which historically has been a contrarian buy signal. Key resistance stands at $73,500 (the previous ATH zone). RSI on the daily chart is approaching overbought at 68. For long-term holders, this dip-and-recover pattern mirrors May 2023. Stay cautious on leverage; the weekly close above $70K is the key confirmation level.

Gold prices held firm near ₹1,62,000 per 10 grams on MCX as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East kept safe-haven demand elevated. International spot gold traded around $2,340/oz. Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) continue to be the most tax-efficient route for Indian investors — the 2.5% annual interest + capital appreciation is unbeatable. Gold ETFs saw net inflows of ₹312 crore in May. For those looking to hedge equity risk, a 10–15% allocation to gold via ETFs or Sovereign Gold Bonds is advisable in this environment. The key support zone is $2,280/oz internationally.

Nifty 50 closing above 24,000 is a significant psychological and technical milestone. Looking at sectoral performance: IT stocks led the rally as dollar strength and deal wins from TCS and Infosys boosted sentiment. Banking (Nifty Bank up 1.2%) benefited from credit growth data showing 16% YoY expansion. Auto remained subdued on EV transition uncertainty. From a technical lens, Nifty faces immediate resistance at 24,350 (the previous swing high). RSI is at 61 — momentum intact but not overheated. For long-term SIP investors, staying invested is the right call. For swing traders, wait for a retest of 23,800 before fresh entries.

High-quality compounders share common traits: ROCE above 20%, debt-to-equity below 0.5, consistent free cash flow, and promoter holding above 50%. Screening for these filters in Indian markets yields names across FMCG, specialty chemicals, hospitals, and AMCs. The key insight for 2026: avoid PSU traps with high dividend yields but deteriorating fundamentals. Focus on businesses with pricing power — ones that can pass on inflation to customers. Regular review of annual reports (look at the MD&A section carefully), tracking management commentary, and comparing EBITDA margins over 5 years tells you more than any analyst report. Patience and discipline — not tips — create wealth in equities.
