How the benchmarks closed
| Index | Close | Change | Percentage change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | 22,555.75 | +133.80 points | +0.60% |
| Sensex | 72,382.47 | +472.77 points | +0.66% |
The Economic Times reported these closing figures for October 5, 2026, and Upstox reported matching benchmark closes. The gains followed a prolonged losing run. The reports associated the rebound with softer-than-expected US jobs data, easing crude oil and positive Asian-market cues; those are reported explanations, not proof that any one factor caused the rise.

What the technical commentary said
Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, founder and CEO of HST Wealth, told the Economic Times that the Nifty tested a broken weekly 200-day simple moving average zone at 22,580–22,600 but closed below it. He described 22,800 as a possible recovery level if the index sustained a move above that band, and 22,400 as immediate support if it was rejected. These were conditional market views, not guaranteed outcomes or investment advice. The Economic Times.
His cited rebound scenario also depended on a Nifty close above 22,600, broader participation and Bank Nifty above 55,175. The report listed renewed crude strength and a hawkish RBI outcome as risks to that scenario. These levels relate to the October 5, 2026 commentary and are not current market levels.

The Economic Times page’s accessible version provides headings for Sensex-specific mover tables, but the table contents are embedded in images. The other cited reports corroborate NIFTY 50 movers rather than a complete Sensex-only ranking. For that reason, the figures above are identified strictly as NIFTY 50 data rather than being presented as a Sensex list.
