The Week That Was: Feb 2 – Feb 6, 2026

๐Ÿ’น The Week That Was: Feb 2 – Feb 6, 2026

(When the market panicked on Budget Day… then remembered how to smile again ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ“Š)

 


If this week were a movie, it would be titled:

“Don’t Panic — Read Till Friday.”

Indian equities had a classic Monday blues → Friday redemption arc. After a sharp sell-off around Budget Day (Feb 1/2), markets dusted themselves off, checked global cues, took a deep breath — and bounced back ๐Ÿ’ช.

By Friday (Feb 6), the Sensex climbed ~266 points to ~83,580, while the Nifty 50 rose to ~25,693, notching up its second straight weekly gain — the best stretch since mid-November 2025. Not bad for a week that started with sweaty palms and nervous coffee refills ☕๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

๐Ÿฆ RBI Enters: Calm Music Plays ๐ŸŽถ

One big reason nerves settled?
The RBI chose “steady as she goes.”

  • Repo rate unchanged at 5.25%

  • Stance stayed neutral

  • Bonus: proposal to allow banks to lend to REITs, giving real estate finance a gentle confidence boost ๐Ÿข✨

Translation: no surprise punches, no hawkish shockers — just policy stability, which markets really like when emotions are running high.

๐Ÿ’ฑ Rupee to the Rescue ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ’ช

Adding to the cheer was a stronger rupee, which logged its best weekly performance in over three years.
That helped soothe inflation fears, lifted sentiment, and encouraged selective buying across Dalal Street.

When the currency behaves, equities usually breathe easier ๐Ÿ˜Œ.

๐ŸŒ Global Mood: Nervous… Then Euphoric ๐ŸŽข

Globally, it was a week of mood swings:

  • Early days: tech stress, AI anxiety, and cautious positioning ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

  • Friday glow-up:

    • Dow Jones crossed 50,000 (yes, that happened ๐Ÿคฏ)

    • S&P 500 had its strongest day since May

    • Nasdaq bounced as tech stocks found their footing

Even MSCI’s global equity index jumped ~1.5% on Friday, helping flip the switch from “risk-off” to “okay, maybe risk-on.”

Emerging markets — including India — happily took the cue.

๐Ÿ” Top Gainers: The Sensible Crowd Wins ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ“ˆ

While chaos brewed elsewhere, defensives and banks played grown-ups:

  • ITC ๐Ÿšฌ➡️๐Ÿช jumped ~5%+, leading the pack

  • Kotak Mahindra Bank rose ~3%

  • HUL gained ~2%

  • Bharti Airtel, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finance chipped in with steady gains

Sector-wise, FMCG and banks quietly stole the show — proving once again that boring can be beautiful ๐Ÿ˜Œ.

๐Ÿ”ป Top Losers: IT Has an Existential Crisis ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ“‰

Not everyone enjoyed the party.

The IT sector had a brutal week, with the Nifty IT index plunging ~6–7%, its worst showing in months.

Names like:

  • Infosys

  • TCS

  • HCL Tech

  • Wipro

  • Tech Mahindra

…were hit as investors wrestled with AI disruption fears and global tech uncertainty. Rough estimates suggest over $22 billion was wiped off Indian IT valuations this week alone. Ouch.

Elsewhere:

  • HDFC Life slipped ~3%

  • Adani Ports and Asian Paints underperformed

  • Mid- and small-caps stayed mixed — not terrible, but not thrilling either.

๐Ÿงญ Big Themes of the Week

1️⃣ RBI Calm > Market Panic

Policy stability helped markets recover from early jitters.

2️⃣ Defensives Rule, Growth Sulks

Banks & FMCG found love; IT felt ignored (and a little insecure).

3️⃣ Global Friday Rally Saved the Week

Without that U.S. surge, this story would’ve read very differently.

4️⃣ Rupee Strength Matters

A strong currency quietly supported confidence behind the scenes.

๐Ÿ“ Final Takeaway

The week ended positively, despite a shaky start and clear sectoral fractures.
A steady RBI, defensive buying, a stronger rupee, and a global risk-on turn late in the week helped Indian markets bounce back — even as structural concerns in IT refuse to go away.

In short:
๐Ÿ“‰ Early panic
๐Ÿ“Š Mid-week thinking
๐Ÿ“ˆ Friday optimism

Markets reminded us — again — that patience is a strategy too ๐Ÿ˜‰

Stop Treating Jewellery Like an Investment

 ๐Ÿ›‘ Stop Treating Jewellery Like an Investment

(Your Necklace Has Emotions, Not Compounding Powers) ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’


Let’s address the golden elephant in the room.

In India, gold isn’t just a metal.
It’s an emotion.
It’s tradition.
It’s family approval.
And sometimes… it’s a backup plan nobody talks about. ๐Ÿคซ

Weddings? Gold.
Festivals? Gold.
Relatives visiting? “Gold rate kya chal raha hai?” ๐Ÿ˜„

But here’s the truth bomb we need to drop — gently, respectfully, and with love:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Gold jewellery is a lifestyle expense, not an investment.

It looks rich.
It feels secure.
But financially?
It starts leaking money the moment you leave the showroom.

๐Ÿ“‰ The Moment You Walk Out, You’re Already in Loss

That ₹5 lakh necklace you proudly bought?

The moment you step outside the jewellery store:
๐Ÿ’ฅ Its resale value drops.
๐Ÿ’ฅ The design premium disappears.
๐Ÿ’ฅ The “sir this is very fine craftsmanship” speech becomes irrelevant.

Why?

Because when you sell jewellery, buyers only care about:
✔ Weight
✔ Purity

Not emotions. Not memories. Not mirror selfies. ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ“Š The 50-Year Reality Check: Gold the Asset vs Gold the Ornament

Let’s be clear — gold itself is NOT the problem.

Gold has been a rock-solid store of value for decades.

๐Ÿ“… 1976: ~₹432 per 10 grams
๐Ÿ“… 2026 (Today): ~₹1,67,000 per 10 grams

That’s 38,000%+ growth over 50 years.
Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do — protect wealth from inflation. ๐Ÿ‘

But here’s the catch:

๐Ÿ“Œ Gold grows.
๐Ÿ“Œ Jewellery bleeds.

The way you hold gold decides who enjoys the returns:
➡️ You
➡️ Or the jeweller, government, and bank locker

๐Ÿ’ธ The Hidden Leaks in Jewellery (Nobody Warned Us About)

Let’s break down where your money quietly escapes.

๐Ÿ”ง Making Charges & Wastage (The Silent Killer)

You pay 10% to 25% extra for design and craftsmanship.

When you sell?
๐Ÿ’จ Poof. Gone.

Your necklace becomes just “X grams of gold.”

๐Ÿงพ GST (3%)

Paid on the entire value.
Recovered later?

Nope.
Never.
Not even emotionally. ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ” The Locker Trap

Storing gold at home = anxiety.
Storing it in a bank = annual subscription fee.

๐Ÿ’ธ ₹3,000 to ₹20,000 per year + GST
Over 10–15 years, locker rent alone can eat a huge chunk of your gold’s appreciation.

Gold went up.
Your net returns quietly went down. ๐Ÿซ 

๐Ÿš€ The 2026 Upgrade: Gold ETFs

(Same Gold. Zero Headaches.)

This is where modern investors are becoming more savvy.

๐Ÿ“‰ Less jewellery buying for “investment”
๐Ÿ“ˆ More Gold ETFs for wealth protection

Gold ETFs let you own gold without owning the problems.

๐Ÿ† Why Gold ETFs Make More Sense

✅ No Making Charges. Ever.

You buy gold at the market price.
That’s it.
No wastage. No design premium. No emotional tax.

✅ Liquidity That Actually Works

Need money?
Sell your ETF units on the stock exchange.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Cash hits your bank account next working day (T+1)
No bargaining. No “rate thoda kam milega.” ๐Ÿ˜„

✅ Assured Purity

Each unit is backed by 99.5% pure physical gold, stored in insured and audited vaults.

You get purity.
You skip locker rent.

✅ SIP Convenience

You don’t need lakhs to start.

๐Ÿ’ก Start a Gold SIP with a few hundred rupees.
Disciplined investing.
Zero stress.
Very adult behaviour. ๐Ÿ˜„

❤️ Jewellery Is for Emotions. ETFs Are for Returns.

We’re not saying:
❌ Don’t buy jewellery

Please do — for:
๐Ÿ’› Weddings
๐Ÿ’› Festivals
๐Ÿ’› Gifting
๐Ÿ’› Looking fabulous

But if your goal is:
✔ Beating inflation
✔ Protecting purchasing power
✔ Building long-term wealth

๐Ÿ‘‰ Stop confusing ornaments with investments.

Let jewellery shine on you.
Let ETFs work quietly in your Demat account. ✨

๐ŸŸก Ready to Start Your Gold SIP?

Don’t let:
❌ Making charges
❌ GST
❌ Locker rent

…silently steal your future profits.

Upgrade your gold strategy.
Because smart investing should shine brighter — and compound better — than jewellery. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ“ˆ

Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 270: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part V)

 ๐ŸŒŸ Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 270: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part V)

“Powerful tool. Terrible idol.” ⚠️๐Ÿ“


Fibonacci retracement is one of the most respected tools in technical analysis — but let’s be clear:

it’s a guide, not a crystal ball. ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Used with logic and discipline, it adds structure to chaos.
Used blindly, it becomes decorative chart art. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿ›  Best Practices (How Pros Use Fibonacci)

Use multiple timeframes
A level visible on daily and weekly charts carries more weight than a lonely intraday line.

Look for confluence
Fibonacci + support/resistance + trendline + volume = confidence boost ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Treat levels as zones, not laser points
Markets breathe. Prices rarely reverse at the exact level — give them room.

Combine with trend & momentum indicators
RSI, MACD, moving averages — Fibonacci works best with good company.

Common Mistakes (How Traders Get Hurt)

๐Ÿšซ Forcing Fibonacci on every chart
๐Ÿšซ Expecting textbook-perfect reversals
๐Ÿšซ Ignoring trend, news, or volatility

If everything looks like a Fibonacci level… you’ve drawn too many lines. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

๐Ÿ“Š Fibonacci in Action (Simple, Realistic Example)

Uptrend from 80 → 100
Price pulls back to 38.2% (~93)
Support holds, buyers step in
Trend resumes upward ๐Ÿš€

That’s Fibonacci at its best —
highlighting probable opportunity, not promising profits.

๐Ÿง  Final Takeaway

Fibonacci retracement doesn’t predict the market —
it frames trader behaviour.

Used correctly, it improves:
✔ Timing
✔ Risk management
✔ Emotional discipline

Used blindly… it’s just colourful lines fighting for attention.

And remember —
The market respects preparation, not prediction. ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ“ˆ

Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 269: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part IV)

 ๐ŸŒŸ Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 269: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part IV)

“When Fibonacci levels start agreeing with each other… listen.” ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ“Š


This is where Fibonacci stops being lines on a chart

and starts becoming a conversation between traders.

๐Ÿš€ Fibonacci Extensions – The ‘What Next?’ Tool

Retracements answer:
๐Ÿ‘‰ “How far will price pull back?”

Extensions answer:
๐Ÿ‘‰ “If the trend resumes… how far can it travel?”

Common extension levels traders watch:

127.2% – early target
161.8% – the Golden expansion ⭐
261.8% – momentum on steroids ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Perfect for:
✔ Setting realistic profit targets
✔ Planning trailing exits without emotion
✔ Avoiding the classic mistake: selling too early

๐Ÿ”— Fibonacci + Trendlines = Confluence

When a Fibonacci level overlaps with:
• a rising trendline
• a falling trendline
• or a breakout retest

That’s called confluence.

Confluence = more eyes on the same price
More eyes = stronger reaction

๐Ÿ“Œ Markets don’t move on indicators —
they move on collective belief.

๐Ÿงฒ Fibonacci Clusters – Where Reactions Get Serious

A Fibonacci cluster forms when:
• retracement levels from different swings
• or retracements + extensions

all point to the same price zone.

Result?
๐Ÿ“ A powerful support or resistance pocket

These zones often produce:
✔ Sharp reversals
✔ Violent breakouts
✔ High-volume battles ⚔️

๐Ÿง  Psychological Levels – Where Emotions Live

Round numbers matter.
Add Fibonacci to them… and things get spicy ๐ŸŒถ️

Examples:
₹100
₹500
₹1000

Round number + Fibonacci level = price magnet ๐Ÿงฒ
This is where:
• fear hesitates
• greed overthinks
• decisions get emotional

๐Ÿ“Œ The Big Lesson

Fibonacci works best when:
✔ Multiple tools agree
✔ Levels overlap
✔ Logic beats belief

Next episode:
How to use Fibonacci wisely — without worshipping it ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ“‰
Because tools are meant to guide… not be blindly followed.

Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 268: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part III)

 ๐ŸŒŸ Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 268: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part III)

“Lines don’t make money. Decisions do.” ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“


Drawing Fibonacci levels is easy.
Using them correctly? That’s where traders are separated from chart decorators ๐Ÿ˜„

Fibonacci retracement truly comes alive only when it’s connected to real trading decisions — entries, exits, and risk control.

๐ŸŽฏ Buy & Sell Signals

Fibonacci helps traders identify high-probability zones, not guaranteed turning points.

In an uptrend
When price pulls back to a Fibonacci support level and shows signs of strength, it can signal a potential buying opportunity.

In a downtrend
A retracement into Fibonacci resistance may offer a sell or shorting opportunity, especially if momentum weakens.

Remember: Fibonacci doesn’t predict when price will turn — it highlights where it might react.

๐Ÿ›‘ Stop-Loss Placement

This is where Fibonacci quietly saves traders from emotional damage ๐Ÿ˜…

Smart traders place stop-losses:

• Slightly below Fibonacci support for long positions
• Slightly above Fibonacci resistance for short positions

Why?
Because markets love to test levels — placing stops exactly on them is like standing on a railway track hoping the train slows down ๐Ÿš†

๐Ÿ“Œ Fibonacci doesn’t eliminate risk — it organises and defines it.

๐Ÿฅ‡ The Golden Ratio – 61.8%

This level isn’t famous by accident.

At 61.8%, markets often:

• Stage sharp reversals
• Pause dramatically before continuing
• Or explode once it decisively holds

That’s why traders across the globe watch this level like hawks ๐Ÿฆ…
Ignore it at your own peril.

๐Ÿ”ง Fibonacci Works Best With Friends

Fibonacci alone is helpful.
Fibonacci with confirmation is powerful.

Combine it with:
• Volume
• RSI
• Moving averages
• Price action

And suddenly, Fibonacci stops being a guessing tool —
and becomes a probability framework ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿง 

Next up: extensions, clusters, and advanced Fibonacci wizardry ๐Ÿง™‍♂️๐Ÿ“ˆ
Where targets get projected and confidence gets sharper.

Budget 2026 Special

 ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ“Š Union Budget 2026–27: The Sunday Surprise, the Market Mood Swings & What It Means for You

(Or: How the Government Served a Full Budget Meal on a Sunday ๐Ÿฝ️)


Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2026–27 on Sunday, 1 February 2026 — marking a few records along the way:

✅ Her 9th consecutive Budget
✅ The first Union Budget on a Sunday
✅ The first Budget was prepared in the newly named Kartavya Bhawan

Clearly, the government wasn’t in the mood for a lazy Sunday. ๐Ÿ˜„☕

The Budget revolved around three core “Kartavyas” (duties):
⚡ Accelerating growth
๐ŸŽฏ Fulfilling people’s aspirations
๐Ÿค Ensuring inclusive participation in India’s growth story

Now let’s unpack what really matters — your money, the markets, and the mood. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ˆ

๐Ÿ’ธ Taxation & Personal Finance: Calm on the Surface, Tweaks Beneath

Good news first — no change in income tax slabs for FY 2026–27.
Both old and new regimes continue, with simplified compliance.
(No last-minute tax heart attacks this year ๐Ÿ˜Œ)

Key tax highlights:

๐Ÿ“ New Income Tax Act, 2025, to kick in from 1 April 2026
→ Promises rationalisation and simpler provisions (we’ll judge after reading the fine print ๐Ÿ˜…)

Revised ITR filing deadline extended to 31 March (from 31 December)
→ Procrastinators, you’ve been officially recognised.

✈️ TCS on overseas tour packages & foreign education/medical remittances cut to 2%
→ Slightly kinder on those with international plans.

๐Ÿš‘ Interest awarded on motor accident claims now fully tax-exempt
→ A humane and welcome relief.

๐Ÿ“‰ But… STT on Futures & Options increased
→ Markets reacted instantly.
Traders blinked. Screens turned red. Volatility said hello. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ“Š

๐Ÿ—️ Infrastructure & Connectivity: Concrete, Steel & Serious Spending

If there’s one thing this Budget loves, it’s capex. ❤️

๐Ÿ’ฐ Public capital expenditure raised to ₹12.2 lakh crore
→ Highest ever, about 9–11% higher than FY26.

Big-ticket announcements:

๐Ÿš„ 7 High-Speed Rail Corridors, including:
Mumbai–Pune | Pune–Hyderabad | Hyderabad–Bengaluru
Chennai–Bengaluru | Delhi–Varanasi | Varanasi–Siliguri

๐Ÿšข 20 new National Waterways over the next 5 years
→ Inland shipping gets a boost.

๐Ÿ“ฆ New freight corridors (like Dankuni–Surat) & waterway promotion schemes
→ Logistics players quietly smiling. ๐Ÿ˜

Message: Roads, rails, rivers — everything is being pressed into service.

๐Ÿญ Industry, MSMEs & Technology: The “Make in India” Gym Workout

This Budget clearly wants India to build more, make more, and export smarter.

Key initiatives:

๐Ÿง  India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) 2.0
๐Ÿ’ฐ Outlay ~₹40,000 crore
→ Strengthening domestic semiconductor & electronics manufacturing.

⛏️ Rare Earth Corridors in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu
→ Strategic move for high-tech and green technologies.

๐Ÿช ₹10,000 crore SME Growth Fund
→ Helping MSMEs graduate from “small” to “seriously scalable”.

๐Ÿงฌ Biopharma Shakti Initiative (₹10,000 crore)
→ Push to make India a global biologics manufacturing hub.

๐ŸŒพ Bharat VISTAAR — a multilingual AI tool for farmers
→ Tech meets agriculture. Finally. ๐Ÿค–๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽ“ Health, Education & Social Welfare: Quiet but Meaningful Moves

๐Ÿ’Š Customs duty exemptions for cancer drugs & rare disease medicines
→ Direct relief to patients and families.

๐Ÿซ One girls’ hostel in every district
๐Ÿ“š Expansion in higher education & research infrastructure.

๐Ÿง˜ WHO traditional medicine centres to be upgraded
๐ŸŽจ Creative technology labs planned in schools.

Not flashy, but socially important.

๐Ÿ“‰ Fiscal Math: Discipline Still in the Room

๐Ÿ“Š Fiscal deficit target for FY 2026–27: 4.3% of GDP
→ Continued path of consolidation.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Total Budget expenditure: ₹53.47 lakh crore
๐Ÿ›️ States’ fiscal transfers: ₹1.4 lakh crore

The numbers suggest growth without fiscal recklessness — a balancing act that markets watch closely.

๐Ÿ“Š Budget Strategy & Market Takeaways: Long-Term Over Loud Headlines

This Budget is less about short-term freebies and more about structural reform.

The focus is clearly on:
๐Ÿญ Manufacturing
๐Ÿง  Technology & semiconductors
๐Ÿงฌ Biopharma
⚙️ Capital goods
⛏️ Rare earths

The heavy capex push, combined with fiscal prudence, signals a policy framework aimed at long-term stability, not instant gratification.

Markets did wobble — especially on F&O tax changes — but volatility doesn’t equal direction change.

As the FM aptly put it:
๐Ÿš„ “The Reform Express is well on its way and will maintain its momentum.”

๐Ÿ“ˆ Investment Outlook: Sectors to Keep on Your Radar

(Not stock tips — just directional cues ๐Ÿงญ)

๐Ÿ”น Infrastructure & Capex
→ Engineering, construction, rail equipment, logistics

๐Ÿ”น Manufacturing & Technology
→ Semiconductors, electronics, biopharma, industrials

๐Ÿ”น Defensive Consumption
→ Staples & healthcare (steady demand)

๐Ÿ”น Financials
→ Banks & NBFCs benefiting from capex-led credit growth

๐ŸŽฏ Final Takeaway

The Union Budget 2026–27 may not have delivered instant fireworks ๐ŸŽ†,
but it quietly reinforced a long-term economic roadmap built on:

✔ Infrastructure
✔ Manufacturing
✔ Technology leadership
✔ Fiscal discipline

For investors and citizens alike, the message is clear:
Think long term. Ignore noise. Stay disciplined.

And yes — even if it came on a Sunday, this Budget clearly means business. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ“Š
