Nifty rebounds after record 8-week rout, but is this a dead cat bounce investors should fear?

The Nifty has rebounded after an eight-week rout described as a record decline. The move marks a shift from the index’s prolonged losing run, but the available information does not establish whether it signals a sustained recovery.

Recovery follows prolonged decline

The rebound comes after eight consecutive weeks of weakness, making the latest market move notable against the backdrop of the extended sell-off. The decline was characterized as a record eight-week rout.

Durability remains the key question

The recovery has also raised the possibility that it could be a temporary bounce rather than a lasting change in market direction. The available source does not provide further details on the factors behind the rebound, its scale or the outlook for the Nifty.

For now, the central issue is whether the index can build on its rebound after the unusually long period of losses.
