Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: A nosedive correction in the IT index triggered by mounting concerns over AI-led disruptions, along with low expectations of a US Fed rate cut due to strong US job data and unemployment rates, dampened investor sentiment. Globally, AI is reshaping markets by compressing margins in service-intensive sectors and increasing concentration-led volatility. 

 

In India, this technology shift is likely to structurally transform IT services by accelerating delivery timelines and automating volume-driven tasks, thereby challenging the traditional headcount-based outsourcing model. A weak sentiment in the IT sector, along with lingering geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, may influence investors to take a cautious approach in the near term.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty closed around 25,800 (down approximately 0.45–0.51%), with intraday movement remaining largely choppy between 25,752 and 25,907. The index continues to trade within a consolidation structure, carrying a mildly bearish to neutral undertone. The 50-day EMA near 25,685 and the 100-day EMA near 25,583 remain crucial structural supports anchoring the broader trend. Unless these levels are decisively breached, the correction remains controlled rather than structural.

 

Technically, the index concluded the session on a negative note after repeated rejection near the 25,850–25,900 supply cluster, which also coincided with descending trendline resistance. Price action maintained a lower high–lower low sequence within a short-term falling channel structure and breached intermediate support near 25,814, accelerating downside momentum
