The index posted a strong rebound after testing the 21-DMA around 25,750, which remains the immediate support level. A sustained move above 26,000 could spark short covering and open the path toward 26,200, followed by 26,500 in the near term.  The RSI has moved above 60, signaling renewed buying interest. Overall, the structure remains bullish, with a buy-on-dips approach favored as long as support at 25600 holds.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Fundamental View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Global equity markets were mostly positive in this week, and the Indian equity markets also delivered decent weekly returns. BSE 30 index and NSE 50 index moved around 1 per cent higher this week. The midcap and the smallcap index, though positive, underperformed the larger peer. On the sectoral front, most of the sectors ended the week with modest gains, with no sector witnessing any significant gain or loss. BSE IT and BSE Capital Goods indices outperformed, while BSE Realty, BSE FMCG and BSE Commodities underperformed. In India, the October CPI inflation eased to 0.25 per cent due to a continued deflation in food and some impact of GST rate cuts across sectors. In Indian markets, stock specific actions continued based on Q2FY26 results and management commentary.

 

The Q2FY26 earnings season showed subdued trends in mass-consumption, uptick in select discretionary segments, modest IT services demand and moderate loan growth for banks. The performance from the metals & mining and Oil Marketing companies were better than estimates. With the Q2FY25 result season coming to an end, the market moves back to macro data point, geo-political development and news related to the India-US tariff resolution.
