Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty remained under sustained selling pressure as the index slipped below the crucial support level of 24,900. Moreover, it has closed below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (50EMA) for the first time in several sessions, signaling a meaningful weakening of the ongoing trend. 

 

Additionally, the index has now fallen back into the zone of the previous swing high on the daily timeframe, which further highlights a potential trend reversal. The current setup appears notably weak and suggests the possibility of a deeper correction.

 

If the Nifty fails to reclaim levels above 24,900 in the next session or two, bulls could face significant short-term challenges. On the downside, immediate support is seen at 24,700, followed by 24,500. On the upside, resistance is now placed around 25,000.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities ended lower as earnings reports from key index heavyweights such as Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv disappointed investors. Post-result downgrades from global brokerages saw Bajaj twins slide above 2 pre cent, weighing on financials and amplifying negativity.

Information Technology, auto, FMCG, metal, and power sectors led the declines following sectorspecific headwinds, weaker global tech cues, and concerns over stretched valuations. Only select pharma stocks provided some respite. Asian peers were negative amid caution over the timing of US Federal Reserve rate cuts. Sentiment was further dampened by looming global trade tensions and uncertainty pertaining to the US-India trade pact.
