India's benchmark stock indices ended at a fresh record high on Thursday, with the NSE Nifty 50 posting the best winning streak in nearly 17 years, tracking gains in Reliance Industries Ltd. and Tata Motors Ltd.

The NSE Nifty 50 settled 99.60 points, or 0.40%, higher at 25,151.95, and the BSE Sensex ended 349.05 points, or 0.43%, higher at 82,134.61.

The broader market trend remains positive, though traders are advised to be cautious of range-bound activity due to temporary overbought conditions, said the analyst.

"The Nifty moved up to achieve its highest-ever closing following a volatile session. Besides, the index has undergone a brief consolidation breakout. The RSI is in a bullish crossover, indicating strong price momentum. In the short term, the index might move towards 25,300, with support on the lower end placed at 25,000," he said.
