Market Insights
Technical Level: Nifty opened flat and consolidated during the morning session, witnessed selling pressure in the second half, forming resistance near 25,570 and touching support at 25,400, before recovering slightly towards the closing.
Advance-Decline Ratio: Market breadth remained positive, with 1,686 advances against 1,456 declines, indicating broader market strength.
The Big Picture: The US imposed preliminary tariffs of up to 126% on Indian solar imports citing unfair subsidies, which may restrict exports and impact domestic manufacturers’ growth. However, the impact could be limited as many companies use imported solar cells for module assembly, reducing direct exposure to these duties.
FII/DII Activity (Feb 25, 2026): DIIs and FIIs remained net buyers, with purchases of ₹5,118 crore and ₹2,991 crore, respectively.

Day 4 – Risk Management (Protect Your Capital First)
In the market, survival is more important than profit.
Think of investing like driving a car
Speed is good, but brakes are more important.
Ways to manage risk:
Don’t invest all money in one stock
Avoid putting money you may need soon
Limit losses (don’t hold bad stocks emotionally)
Golden rule:
“Don’t lose big money.” Small losses are okay, big losses are dangerous.
Practical approach:
Invest only a portion of your capital in each stock (5–10%).
