Key Highlights:
- AANCHALISP, ALKA, and AXISOL were among the prominent names locking in fresh 52-week highs in the micro-cap and XT/X groups.
- Several liquid funds/ETFs like CASHIETF, LIQUIDADD, and LIQUIDCASE also touched new highs, reflecting stability in debt-oriented instruments.
- Most stocks hitting yearly highs belonged to smaller segments with limited participation from mainboard large or mid-cap names.
- This selective strength occurred alongside weakness in other pockets, including some stocks hitting fresh 52-week lows and lower circuits on the same day.
The market continued to exhibit rotational and stock-specific behaviour with isolated momentum in micro-caps offsetting broader caution.
