Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets ended 2025 on a strong note, posting a broad-based recovery. Looking ahead, expectations are rising for a constructive rebound in 2026, supported by improving demand conditions. Investor sentiment is likely to hinge on corporate earnings and a potential uptick in nominal GDP growth. Metal stocks led gains today after the government announced import tariffs on steel products. Meanwhile, the oil & gas sector outperformed on the back of anticipated stable demand and stronger refining margins.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty 50 traded with a positive bias throughout the session, forming higher highs and higher lows and moving above the immediate resistance zone of 26,100–26,150. The index tested the 26,200 region once again, a level that has consistently acted as a strong supply zone, and faced selling pressure near this area into the close. 

 

Momentum indicators showed steady improvement, with RSI hovering near 55, indicating strengthening upside momentum without overbought conditions. Holding above the 26,000 mark remains crucial to sustain the ongoing uptrend and keep the possibility of a retest of the all-time high at 26,320 intact. A decisive breakout above 26,200–26,230 could open the door for a sharper move toward the 26,300–26,500 zone.
