Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty opened gap-down, reflecting early weakness in IT stocks following negative cues from the US markets. At the end, the Nifty ended the session significantly lower. India VIX also moved back above its 200-day double-moving average (DMA), indicating rising fear among the market participants.

 

From a technical standpoint, the setup has turned relatively cautious, with the index slipping below its 20-day double moving average (DMA) for the first time in the past few sessions. Additionally, it has breached the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the prior upmove from 24,571 to 26,341.

 

With the index closing below the key support level of 25,500, the near-term bias appears weak, and there is potential for a decline toward the 25,000 mark in the short term. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen around 25,800.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert's quote

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic equities ended lower following a highly volatile session, weighed down by weak global cues ahead of the upcoming US inflation data. Sentiment gains from the US–India trade deal have faded as renewed AI‑driven disruption fears weigh on risk appetite, with markets worrying that Indian IT firms dependent on labour arbitrage model may face tougher competitive pressure than their Nasdaq peers. This cautious tone extended across the broader market, pulling all major indices into negative territory, with most sectors closing in the red. Metal stocks saw profit‑booking amid a stronger dollar index, as reports of Russia’s return to the US‑dollar settlement system heightened expectations of potential sanctions relief and raised concerns over weaker realisations for metal companies. Realty stocks declined on the back of weak results and delayed launches.
