Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Nifty 50 delivered a decisive breakout, surpassing its previous record high of 26,236 and confirming a resumption of the higher-high, higher-low formation on the daily chart. The index has clearly emerged from its recent consolidation band of 26,000–26,200 and continues to trade well above its key moving averages, with the 20-day EMA near 26,044 and the 50-day EMA around 25,878. The broader uptrend remains firmly intact within the rising channel that has guided price action since the mid-2025 lows. Momentum indicators remain supportive, with prices riding the upper Bollinger Band without any immediate signs of exhaustion. A sustained hold above 26,300 could accelerate the rally toward 26,500, with an extended upside potential toward 26,700 on strong follow-through. The near-term bias stays bullish, with dips toward 26,200 likely to attract buying interest.

Indian equity markets closed the session on a firmly bullish note, with benchmark indices extending their uptrend and registering fresh all-time highs. Market sentiment remained positive, supported by stable domestic macro fundamentals and continued confidence in India’s medium-term growth trajectory. Positive global cues, coupled with selective buying across autos, metals, and banking stocks, reinforced investor confidence and supported the broader market structure. While stock-specific volatility was evident—most notably following sharp selling pressure in ITC—the broader market continued to draw strength from resilient consumption trends and sustained government-led capital expenditure. Expectations around the upcoming earnings season remain constructive, particularly for banking, infrastructure, consumer goods, and manufacturing-linked sectors.
