The Sensex and Nifty 50, having surged sharply the day before, were signaling a higher open — a moment where collective hope, technical structure, and geopolitical mood converged into the quiet arithmetic of price. Markets, like civilizations, move not on certainty but on the shifting weight of expectation.
