Banks lead Indian indices by weight and by narrative, and a bank pressing its yearly high is a statement about credit conditions, not just one chart. Scanning the industry tier rather than the broader Financial Services sector keeps out the NBFCs and insurers, which trade on different cycles. The proximity form catches stocks at the high without demanding the breakout print itself.
