In the rhythmic breath of markets, India's Sensex and Nifty opened quietly higher on February 5, defying early signals of weakness — a small act of resilience following a week in which both indices had touched historic heights. The moment captures a familiar human tension: the pause after ascent, when the question shifts from how high we have climbed to whether the ground beneath us is solid. What answers emerge this week — from corporate earnings, from the Reserve Bank of India, and from the wider world — will help determine whether this rally is a foundation or a peak.
