Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities saw consolidation, as weakness was followed by a sharp rally in recent sessions driven by optimism around the US–India trade deal, suggesting profit booking was at play. Global cues added further pressure, with concerns over a broad-based tech sell-off in international markets and heightened US–Iran tensions leading to risk-off sentiment. Metals and small-cap stocks were key underperformers, while broader indices reflected cautious trading. Market participants are now turning their attention to the upcoming RBI policy meeting. With India’s growth outlook remaining strong, consensus expectations point toward a status quo on rates.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 remained locked in a tight consolidation, with repeated failures to sustain moves on either side. After an early dip, the index found support in the 25,580–25,600 zone, which acted as a consistent demand area through the session. Upside attempts were capped near the 25,700–25,750 resistance band, indicating persistent supply at higher levels. Price action stayed choppy with small candles and low follow-through, reflecting a lack of strong directional conviction. The short-term bias remains sideways to mildly weak, with the index likely to oscillate between 25,580 and 25,750 unless a decisive breakout or breakdown emerges with volume. On the daily timeframe, Nifty remains below the 50-day exponential average (EMA), indicating short-term weakness, while the 100-day EMA is acting as near-term support, keeping the broader medium-term structure constructive. Momentum indicators mirror this mixed tone, with the relative strength index (RSI) at 51 remaining in the neutral zone. Overall bias stays mildly bearish as Nifty struggles to sustain above the 25,700 mark.
