Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

The Nifty ended the session with a mild pullback, forming a small-bodied bearish candle just below the 26,100 mark. While this signals some hesitation after a strong rally, it does not suggest an immediate reversal. The index continues to respect the rising trend line that has supported the uptrend since September, reinforcing the overall bullish structure.

 

Intraday movement remained contained, oscillating between 26,000 and 26,100. Despite attempts by sellers to push the index lower, the lack of follow-through indicates that any dips are being quickly absorbed, suggesting sustained buying interest. The key demand zone remains between 26,000 and 25,900, which continues to provide solid support. A decisive close above 26,200 remains the crucial trigger for the next leg of the uptrend, potentially unlocking targets of 26,277 and 26,300.

Indian markets turned volatile and settled lower, reflecting the broader decline seen across Asian equities after better-than-expected US non-farm payroll data dampened the expectation of a December rate cut.  Profit-booking after a brief two-day uptrend added to the cautious tone, pulling all key indices into the red, with mid- and small-caps facing sharper corrections. Market sentiment was further undermined by a soft manufacturing PMI reading, a weakening INR, and growing worries over potential delays in India–US trade discussions.
